Notes: Time period – March 11, to November 30, 2020. P-values from wild bootstrap (cgmwildboot) standard errors clustered by province with 5000 repetitions are reported in the square brackets. We drop each policy one at a time in columns (3)-(12). NC denotes national total cases. ***, ** and * denote 10%, 5% and 1% significance level respectively.
