All P < 0.001. To calculate differences from pre (6 January–1 March 2020) to post (6 April–3 May 2020) COVID-19 related changes, we used OLS regressions estimating post effects, stratified within each location category and visitor income quintile. Values were normalized against the pre period mean within each category and income quintile before modelling, to estimate proportional changes in visits from pre to post. These are reported here as percentages. The data source was SafeGraph Weekly Patterns (v.2). To identify non-work visits, we subtracted visits of >4 h from weekly visit totals. For sample size per category, see Table 1.
