Fig. 1 — Relationship between the time until lockdown and the absolute and relative number of deaths from COVID-19. Univariate linear models developed with data from the 16 European countries included in the study for a) total number of deaths from COVID-19, and b) total number of deaths per million inhabitants 90 days after the first case was detected in each country, including the number of days that elapsed from that first case to the declaration of lockdown therein. c) Evolution of the number of deaths from COVID-19 relative to the population of each country between days 15 and 90 after detecting the first case of the disease. The colour scale separates those countries that declared lockdown within 27 days of the first case detected, or after 27 days. Significant differences were detected between these groups for the number of deaths per million inhabitants registered on day 90 after the first case (ANOVA, p = 0.0015), while on day 15 there were no such differences between countries (ANOVA, p = 0.712).
