Comprehensive public health evaluation of lockdown as a non-pharmaceutical intervention on COVID-19 spread in India: national trends masking state-level variations.

Patterns of change over lockdown periods indicate the lockdown has been partly effective in slowing the spread of the virus nationally.

Our framework offers a holistic assessment of the pandemic across Indian states and union territories along with a set of interactive visualisation tools that are daily updated at covind19.org.
