  • A more restrictive lockdown was brought in on March 30th aimed at reducing mobility and non-essential industrial activity countrywide.

    “Two weeks later, on March 30th, a more restrictive lockdown was brought in, aimed at reducing mobility and non-essential industrial activity countrywide (Mitjà et al., 2020).”

    From Uses and Perceptions of Music in Times of COVID-19: A Spanish Population Survey (2021) · cites this paper as Mitjà et al., 2020

    In the section “Experts’ request to the Spanish Government: move Spain towards complete lockdown” (page not specified), the authors call for restricting movement, interrupting work, and banning non-basic economic activities. They do not report that a more restrictive, countrywide lockdown was brought in on March 30; the paper presents these measures as proposals, not an enacted policy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
