Notes: State/Provincial/Country capitals are omitted. The sample for columns (1)–(4) includes all days for which data are available since the 100th COVID-19 case was reported in each country. The sample for columns (5)–(6) includes days 29–42 since the 100th COVID-19 case was reported in each country. All regressions include day fixed effects, while columns (2), (4), and (6) additionally include the following district-level controls: population, population density, the fraction of urban population, the fraction of population below the poverty line, and a measure of health access (Bangladesh: number of hospital beds per capita, India: number of primary health centers per capita, Pakistan: percentage of population which has access to a health clinic or hospital within 15 min of their dwelling). Standard errors in parentheses and double-clustered by day and district. p<0.10, ∗∗p<0.05, ∗∗∗p<0.01.
