Abstract

Despite widespread mobility restrictions to control the COVID-19 pandemic, controlled impact evaluations on their effectiveness are rare. While Colombia imposed a National Lockdown, various national exceptions, additional municipal level restrictions, and irregular adherence created variations across municipalities and over time. The research team analysed how weekend and weekday mobility affected COVID-19 cases and deaths and explored other relationships.
