Within this period, data series varies among variables and regions, since they start on the first day with >10 cases or >1 death. Therefore, start dates for each data series are 23 February 2020 for Spain, 1 March 2020 for Madrid, and 2 March 2020 for Catalonia in the case of cases, and 2 March, 4 March and 7 March for deaths. rDev: residual deviance.

a

Fitted using seed breakpoint values.

b

Poisson regression without breaking points as null model.
