Epidemic data used in study of effects of COVID-19 on maternal and neonatal outcomes and access to antenatal and postnatal care, Malawi. A) Daily confirmed COVID-19 cases; B) daily confirmed COVID-19 deaths. The epidemiologic curve shows the beginning of second and third waves of COVID-19 in Malawi. Grey bars indicate daily case counts; blue lines indicate centered 14-day moving averages; orange vertical lines indicate proposed time points for the interruptions in the segmented time series analysis: January 1, 2021, just before the second COVID-19 wave; and June 20, 2021, just before the third COVID-19 wave. Data are from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html).
