The greatest reductions in transmission were associated with Isolate and Test with School Closure, Curfew, and Lockdown, though estimates were subject to considerable uncertainty.
The model incorporated both case and death data to estimate region-specific changes in transmission intensity. Isolate and Test with School Closure was associated with region-level mean reductions in R₀ of 25–41%, Curfew with 20–70% reductions, and Lockdown with 50–60% reductions. Uncertainty was considerable, particularly for Isolate and Test with School Closure (95% credible intervals from 1% to 73% across regions). Key limitations include the inability to disentangle simultaneous NPIs, assumptions about constant inter-regional mobility, reliance on age-adjusted infection fatality ratios from other sources, and the assumption of homogeneous mixing within regions.
