The Lancet

Understanding  factors  that  affectthe spread  of  severe  acute  respiratory  syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is  crucial  for  mitigating  the  impacts  of   COVID-19.   Hamada   Badr   and   colleagues1 found a strong correlation between  phone  mobility  data  and  decreased COVID-19 case growthrates, making  the  explicit  assumption  that  phone mobility data serves as a proxy for  social  distancing.
