Regression results from the main specification using a logit model. Number of person-weeks=4 906 952. We included controls for year of birth, calendar week, region of residence, country of birth, sex and parents’ country of birth. SEs were clustered at the municipality level.

*The column shows p values from Wald tests of equal OR for omicron versus delta, based on the regression output.
