To assess these possible changes, we reviewed all neurotrauma admissions to our trauma center during the early COVID-19 period, and assessed changes in frequency, demographics, and mechanisms, in order to highlight any changes due to social distancing policies. 8 During this time period, we observed a decrease in the frequency of neurotrauma at the early phase after the strict limitation of non-essential activities in the city, compared to the pre-COVID-19 period. Interestingly, transit-related neurotrauma, as well as TBIs related to violence (direct head trauma with an object) increased in frequency in the COVID-19 period showing significant difference.	./cache/cord-310144-s25do8cb.txt	./txt/cord-310144-s25do8cb.txt
