Abstract

The original version of this article, published on 26 October 2022, unfortunately contained a mistake. The discussion of the coefficient estimates in the results and discussion sections of the referenced article was incorrect. These estimates should be multiplied by a factor of 100 for their interpretation to be correct. Additionally, the discussion of the interpretation of the generosity factor in the results section used the incorrect rate of ILI cases in its explanation. The number of ILI cases should be that of the pre-period, which is 1.7 cases per 100 cases. Given that state pre-policy ILI rates are 1.7 cases per 100 cases, the results instead suggest that more generous paid sick leave policies reduced ILI rates by 23.5%, whereas states with less generous policies reduced ILI rates by 11.8%. The author apologizes for both errors. The original article has been corrected.
