Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This study, however, is not without limitations. As this devastating pandemic continues to unfold in this epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, we assume that the number of Covid-19 confirmed cases will likely shift in response to improved testing and reporting practices, and thus, over time, enable the emergence of more accurate and useful data. Still, we use the latest data available to us [8]. Similarly, our sample is drawn from the New York metropolitan region, reducing the generalizability of our findings to a particular portion of people in the City of New York and surrounding areas, through May 3, 2020. Furthermore, in order to reduce virus transmission and keep case-fatality rates as low as possible, the New York State government instituted a number of mitigation efforts aside from school closures, including social distancing, school and workplace closures, cancellation of large-scale public gatherings, and stay-at-home orders [24]. In the present analysis, we use school closure dates to account for variation in time of enactment of physical distancing measures across counties. Thus, our inclusion of one variable is by no means comprehensive. However, if school closures were the only measure enacted, intervention effectiveness would be substantially reduced and variation in Covid-19 incidence across counties would be magnified [20-21]. Similarly, although we are unable to confirm whether individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 reside in the area where...
