- Traffic accidents, fatalities, and injuries have declined during the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders in Turkey.
- These rates in March and April suggest roughly 200 traffic related deaths and 17,600 injuries were avoided during the months that stay-at-home orders
- Difference-in-difference estimates can use variation in quarantine orders among small cities
- Finding: stricter rules in April were responsible for the decline of accidents with death or injury by 35 percent, death by 72 percent and injuries by 19 percent.
