Daily COVID-19 cases per 100 000 persons, changes in social gathering restrictions (green means looser restrictions and red means stricter, according to Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker) and timeline of waves (W) of data collections in each cohort

**Figure 2**
National COVID-19 incidence and depressive symptoms across cohorts. The COVID-19 incidence is defined as the average number of confirmed cases per week per 100 000 persons in the 2 weeks prior to participants’ response to the PHQ-9/EST-Q2 (COVID-19 cases excluded). Dotted black line represents trend with 95% confidence interval (blue area)
