tl;dr: County-level average NO2 concentrations were positively associated with both COVID-19 case-fatality rate and mortality rate in single-, bi-, and tri-pollutant models (p-values<0.05).

Sort of a double-edged sword as they’re going down right now, but would go back up once things reopen. Whoopsie.

Also worthy of note, this paper on the Po Valley (where Milan, and most of the Northern Italy fatalities, were):
