In this section we present three examples of the application of m-RSC to derive the counterfactual estimates of possible number of deaths under the changed conditions like delaying or starting the stringency measures at earlier date. In this work we use Multi-dimensional Robust Synthetic Control to understand the effects of stringency measure on COVID-19 pandemic. We construct synthetic version of a location using convex combination of other geographic locations in the donor pool that most closely resembled the treatment unit in terms of pre-intervention period using stringency index and adherence score (using mobility information).	./cache/cord-181220-gr29zq1o.txt	./txt/cord-181220-gr29zq1o.txt
