Time series of newly diagnosed melanomas relative to COVID-19 lockdown in Switzerland: A significantly higher rate of diagnosed melanomas was observed after the lift of major restrictions. The green line shows the rate, i.e., the moving 7-day average of diagnosed melanomas, considering a period of two years and three months centered on the official lockdown onset (16/MAR/20). The yellow lines represent three standard deviations above and below the mean of the considered interval. The shaded red area represents the lockdown period in Switzerland, defined here as the period between the official lockdown onset and the date for the major lift of restrictions (22/JUN/20). The black dashed line represents the date of the lift of medical restrictions (27/APR/20).
