  1. Calculations are made per time slot (weeks and phases, respectively). Percentages are calculated per column. Percentage (%) differences represent the difference between percentages in the Bucharest COVID-19 dataset and percentages in the population of COVID-19 cases in Romania. Out of the 46,440 cases, 46,303 have complete information on the infection confirmation date variable and served for recoding purposes (column “COVID-19 cases in Bucharest”).
