FIGURE 1
Comparison of the Oxford COVID‐19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) and ECDC‐JRC Response Measures Database (ECDC‐JRC RMD) in four countries. The following measures were considered: workplace measures include closing (or work from home) for all‐but‐essential workplaces (OxCGRT) and closure of workplaces and teleworking (ECDC‐JRC RMD). Public gathering restrictions include limits on gatherings between 0 and 100 people (OxCGRT) and limits participation of indoor/outdoor attendance between 31 and 100 people and ban on all events (ECDC‐JRC RMD). Closure of public spaces include cancelling of public events (OxCGRT) and public spaces, for example, entertainment venues, sport centres, hotels and nonessential shops (ECDC‐JRC RMD). Closure of educational institutions include closing of schools and universities* (OxCGRT) and daycare nursery and primary schools (ECDC‐JRC RMD). Protective mask use include requirement of facial coverings outside the home with people present and at all times regardless of location and presence of other people (OxCGRT) and protective mask use in closed and public spaces (ECDC‐JRC RMD). The red line indicates 11 March 2020, when the World Health Organization declared COVID‐19 a pandemic. *childcare and nurseries do not count as educational closures for OxCGRT.
