The IAB is conducting extensive research on the effects of the introduction and relaxation of coronavirus containment measures in Germany. These include, for example, contact restrictions and closures of industries. The data base collects data on these measures by federal states and, in some cases, districts at daily precision. The regional differences in the introduction of measures can be used for analyses of their effects on, for example, the development of the labour market, economic activity or the spread of the virus.
