Effects of social distancing on the spreading of COVID-19 inferred from mobile phone data

Abstract A better understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic responds to social distancing efforts is required for the control of future outbreaks and to calibrate partial lock-downs. We present quantitative relationships between key parameters characterizing the COVID-19 epidemiology and social dis...
