Notes: Dependent variable is an indicator for 7 (or more) prenatal visits. COVID represents the extensive margin of exposure. All regressions include mother and child covariates in addition to pre-pandemic municipality characteristics interacted with a linear trend. All regressions control for municipality and month-by-year fixed effects. Standard errors clustered at the mother's residence municipality are in parentheses. Sample includes all mothers who delivered a baby in the state of Amazonas from Jan 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020 (excluding mothers that reside in the capital city Manaus). ∗p < 0.1, ∗∗p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p < 0.01.
