∗
Cases were allocated to the pre-lockdown period if they had a date of sampling/diagnosis between the 20th of February and the 16th of March, to the lockdown period if their date of sampling/diagnosis was between the 17th of March and the 24th of May and to the post-lockdown period if that date was between the 25th of May and the 15th of October. Cases were classified as hospitalized or dead if they had a date of recovery/death within 40 days of sampling/diagnosis.
