There were two turning points in daily new-case trend, being March 28 (slope-changes = −0.09) and April 3 (slope-changes = −0.09), which appeared to be associated with implementation of SAHO on March 28 (affecting 48.5% of the US population in 22 states and District of Columbia), and face-masking recommendation on April 3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: We identified two turning points of COVID-19 daily new cases or deaths in the USA, which seem to be linked to implementation of SAHO and the Center for Disease Control's face-masking recommendation. The multivariable piecewise log-linear regression models identified two turning points of COVID-19 daily new cases and the time-varying reproduction number, Rt, in the USA, as well as the link between states' relationship with New York and COVID-19 epidemics. ./cache/cord-308383-j1gi1cxu.txt ./txt/cord-308383-j1gi1cxu.txt
