The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on human mobility, with lockdown policies implemented in many countries to slow the spread of the virus. Analyzing human mobility data from Italy, researchers found that the average distance traveled by province decreased significantly after the first restrictive measures were implemented, correlating with the start of lockdown. The analysis also revealed a positive correlation between average traveled distances above 25 km and the risk of infection, highlighting the importance of limiting human mobility in controlling the spread of the virus. The study's findings suggest that recent mobility patterns should be included in epidemiological models to predict the evolution of the epidemic.
