Lockdowns have been widespread used to limit social interaction and bend the epidemic curve. However, their intensity and geographical delimitation have been variable across different countries. Madrid (Spain) implemented perimeter lockdowns in September with the purpose of bending the COVID-19 curve. In this article, we compared, using join point regressions, the evolution of COVID-19 cases in those areas where this intervention was implemented and those where it was not. According to our analysis, the decrease in the epidemic curve started before the impact of the perimeter lockdown could be reflected.
封锁措施已被广泛用于限制社会交往和改变疫情曲线。然而，它们的强度和地理界限在不同国家是不同的。马德里（西班牙）在 9 月实施了周边封锁，目的是改变 COVID-19 曲线。在本文中，我们使用连接点回归比较了在实施这种干预的地区和未实施这种干预的地区 COVID-19 病例的演变情况。根据我们的分析，疫情曲线的下降在周边封锁的影响反映出来之前就已经开始了。
