Global-scale modeling of early factors and country-specific trajectories of COVID-19 incidence: a cross-sectional study of the first 6 months of the pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies examining factors responsible for COVID-19 incidence have been mostly focused at the national or sub-national level. A global-level characterization of contributing factors and temporal trajectories of disease incidence is currently lacking. Here we conducted a global-scale analysis of COVID-19 infections to identify key factors associated with early disease incidence. Additionally, we compared longitudinal trends of COVID-19 incidence at a per-country level, and classified countries based on COVID-19 incidence trajectories and effects of lockdown responses.

Methods

This is an observational cross-sectional study covering COVID-19 incidence over the first 6 months of the pandemic (Jan 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020). A retrospective analysis was performed using p
