Comparison of mean patient numbers per day in control vs lockdown and lockdown light period (a) treated in the ED (mean 117.8 vs 73.8, n = 3299 vs n = 2067 reduction 37.4% and vs lockdown light with mean 90.18 and n = 2525, reduction 23.45%, p < 0.0001), (b) seen by a neurologist in the ED (mean 17.1 vs 11, n = 478 vs n = 308, reduction 35.6%, p < 0.0001 and vs lockdown light with mean 13.46 and n = 377, reduction 21.2%, p < 0.01), (c) with diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or TIA in the ED (mean 3.2 vs 2.6, n = 89 vs n = 72, reduction 19.1%, and vs lockdown light with mean 3.2 and n = 90, non-significant increase by 1.1%) (d) with diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or TIA admitted to our stroke unit (2.5 vs 2.3, reduction 10% and vs lockdown light with mean 2.4 by 2.9%. Daily admissions were tested by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. Results were assumed statistically significant with * = p < 0.05. ** = p < 0.01.*** = p < 0.0001.
