Fig 7. Day of the week effect.

Fig 7

Day of the week effect on daily mortality, hospital admissions, and road accidents for each season, expressed in proportion of the standard deviations of daily number of cases within Bavaria compared to a reference day of the week (mortality Wednesday, hospital admissions Friday, road accidents Thursday). The color indicates the effect direction whether positive (red) or negative (blue). The number in the upper right corner of each panel indicates the standard deviation of daily cases in the relevant season for the whole of Bavaria. The absence of the cross means that the effect of the day was not significant in the corresponding model. Explanatory example: For winter hospital admissions, the sd is 3143.5, and the Saturday effect for Bavaria is -0.884. This indicates a decrease in daily hospital admissions by 0.884*3143.5 = 2779 on Saturdays compared to Fridays.
