In 14 states, city or county governments issued mask-wearing orders, and from our dataset it can been seen that the median population covered in the states was 37.5%; the coverage ranged from 1.6% (New Hampshire) to 77.1% (Arizona).  The dataset can be accessed from: https://doi.org/10.7939/DVN/A9C1UUhttps://f1000research.com/articles/9-1267/v1
