Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:National evidence-based risk assessments, drawing on country-level goals and limitations must now be a priority. Continued outbreak surveillance remains a critical tool to enable swift action following accelerated transmission. As always, it could be sensible to learn from successful models implemented elsewhere. This descriptive study has limitations. We focus only on NPIs related to movement and we recognize that other NPIs such as contact tracing, and isolation and quarantine protocols will have also helped to reduce transmission. We have described the type and timing of NPIs implemented and have inferred their impact on COVID-19 transmission. However, we have not attempted to quantify these effects, nor have we accounted for other factors that may impact transmission, such as the effect of climate on virus longevity. (20) The data we use in this article has been drawn from disparate sources, each of which has limitations. The number of cases we report is based on the number of tests performed, and as population-level testing remains economically impractical, no country currently knows the extent of their underlying outbreak. The NPI data are drawn partly from informal sources such as media reports with implied quality concerns. To counter this we have made systematic efforts to triangulate our NPI information wherever possible. Although we have used two quantitative categories to describe the implementation of lockdowns, in reality national stay-at-home orders varied mark...
