The monthly new cases of measles and mumps before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. A) the raw monthly new cases of measles (solid line) and the seasonal component (dash line) in the upper panel, and the residual after removing the seasonal component in the lower panel. B) the residual distributions of measles before (black) and after (red) the COVID-19 pandemic. They illustrated that the COVID-19 pandemic decreased the number of new cases significantly (P < 10−5 from the Mann-Whitney U test on the two distributions in Fig. 1B). C) the raw monthly new cases of mumps (solid line) and the seasonal component (dash line) in the upper panel, and the residual after removing the seasonal component in the lower panel. D) the residual distributions of mumps before (black) and after (red) the COVID-19 pandemic. They illustrated that the COVID-19 pandemic decreased the number of new cases significantly (P < 10−5 from the student's t-test on the two distributions in Fig. 1D).
