I'm the corresponding author of this paper. We found a typo in our Table 2, the mean of Childcare/homeschooling hours per week for women in May should be 20.47 rather than 22.47.

Related to this "Regarding childcare, women spent on average 20.5 hours per week on childcare/homeschooling in April, and this number increased to 22.5 hours per week in May." The correct sentence is: Regarding childcare, women spent on average 20.5 hours per week on childcare/homeschooling in both April and May.

This typo doesn't influence any other results or context of our manuscript.
