Therefore, we assessed the association between the timing of emergency declarations and school closures, two specific statewide distancing measures, and subsequent Covid-19 mortality. Second, because deaths per million is a common method to compare localities, we provide an analysis testing the association between deaths per million at the state level after multivariable adjustment relative to timing of emergency declarations or statewide school closures. States implementing emergency declarations or school closures later in the course of the pandemic experienced higher Covid-19 mortality, with each day of delay increasing mortality risk 5 to 6%. ./cache/cord-317823-ztawznod.txt ./txt/cord-317823-ztawznod.txt
