CI=confidence interval. An odds ratio greater than 1 is associated with an increased probability that the covid-19 case or death velocities decreased. Each non-pharmaceutical intervention analysed in an individual model. For indoor public gathering bans, mild refers to gatherings of more than 10 people; severe refers to gatherings of 10 people or fewer. Indoor restaurant dining bans were adopted when indoor dining was banned and were discontinued when indoor dining was reinstated, regardless of capacity specification or outdoor dining policies.
