Abstract
Italy introduced a system of tiered SARS-CoV-2 control measures in November 2020. Here, the authors quantify the effect of these measures on SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility and hospitalisation, and find reductions across all tiers with the greatest impacts associated with the most restrictive level.
