Non-NPIs corresponded to the stage before COVID-19, and NPIs corresponded to the stage after COVID-19. The period from January 2018 to January 2020 was defined as before COVID-19, while the period from June 2020 to December 2022 was defined as after COVID-19. The non-H5/7/9 subtypes were referred to as Untyped.
