Lockdowns to prevent SARS-CoV-2 Transmission

In early 2020, many nation states introduced unprecedented legal restrictions on freedom of movement, termed a “COVID lockdown”, because it was nominally as a response to COVID-19. Officially only intended to last matter of weeks, in most nations they stretched into months, and were repeated. While they had unprecedented effects on society, as of early 2021, evidence that they impacted the spread of Covid-19 significantly is remarkably thin.
