    are an effective strategy to prevent and control COVID-19 transmission in the
    community. However, the timing and stringency to which these measures have been
    implemented varied between countries and regions. The differences in stringency
    can only to a limited extent be explained by the number of infections and the
    prevailing vaccination strategies. Our study aims to shed more light on the lockdown
    strategies and to identify the determinants underlying the differences between
    countries on regional, economic, institutional, and political level. Based on
    daily panel data for 173 countries and the period from January 2020 to October
    2021 we find significant regional differences in lockdown strategies. Further,
    more prosperous countries implemented milder restrictions but responded more quickly,
    while poorer countries introduced more stringent measures but had a longer response
    time. Finally, democratic regimes and stronger manifested institutions alleviated
    and slowed down the introduction of lockdown measures.</jats:p>
