Human mobility data in the COVID-19 pandemic: characteristics, applications, and challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges around the world. Many studies
have applied mobility data to explore spatiotemporal trends over time, investigate
associations with other variables, and predict or simulate the spread of COVID-19. Our
objective was to provide a comprehensive overview of human mobility open data to guide
researchers and policymakers in conducting data-driven evaluations and decision-making
for the COVID-19 pandemic and other infectious disease outbreaks. We summarized the …
