“…Of the 10 natural experiments, five found that when face covering policies were in place mobility increased (i.e., people were less likely to stay at home) [47][48][49][50][51], four found that mobility was unchanged [52][53][54][55], and one found that mobility decreased (i.e., people were more likely…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns were raised that face covering use may elicit risk compensation; a false sense of security resulting in reduced adherence to other protective behaviours such as physical distancing. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of face covering use on adherence to other COVID-19 related protective behaviours. Medline, Embase, PsychInfo, EmCare, medRxiv preprints, Research Square and WHO COVID-19 Research Database were searched for all primary research studies published from 1st January 2020 to 17th May 2022 that investigated the effect of face covering use on adherence to other protective behaviours in public settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Papers were selected and screened in accordance with the PRISMA framework. Backwards and forwards citation searches of included papers were also conducted on 16th September 2022, with eligible papers published between 1st January 2020 and that date being included. A quality appraisal including risk of bias was assessed using the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Quality Criteria Checklist. This review is registered on PROSPERO, number CRD42022331961. 47 papers were included, with quality ranging from low to high. These papers investigated the effects of face covering use and face covering policies on adherence to six categories of behaviour: physical distancing; mobility; face-touching; hand hygiene; close contacts; and generalised protective behaviour. Results reveal no consistent evidence for or against risk compensation, with findings varying according to behaviour and across study types, and therefore confident conclusions cannot be made. Any policy decisions related to face coverings must consider the inconsistencies and caveats in this evidence base.

“…Anonymized mobile phone data was also used in another study in Austria [13] where the authors assess the effect of the lock-down quantitatively for all regions and present an analysis of daily changes of human mobility throughout Austria. In [15], the relationships between containment and closure policies, disease trends, and human mobility patterns in 40 countries in Western, Eastern, Northern, and Southern Europe and North America is explored. Finally, in Rio de Janeiro, network usage data was analysed and compared from pre-lockdown, during lockdown, and post-lockdown phases to understand human mobility patterns during the pandemic, and to evaluate the effect of lockdowns on mobility.…”

Analysis of Mobility Changes Caused by COVID-19 in a Context of Moderate Restrictions Using Data Collected by Mobile Devices

et al. 2022

Since its inception, COVID-19 has changed several dynamics in society, both on a personal and professional level. Mobility was one of the most affected aspects, as a result of the necessary social distancing and preventive measures that had to be enacted by the various countries and which restricted, at various times, freedom of movement. The impact that COVID-19 had, and still has, on mobility is important to be understood so that the necessary measures can be taken in order to return to normality and, for example, not regress in the steps that were being taken in encouraging the use of public transport as a measure to combat the carbon footprint as well as traffic congestion in cities. This paper intends to analyze the reality of Spain and Portugal, in the period between May 10th and July 2nd, 2021, in which both countries had already finished restricting mobility measures. The study used data from Google Community Mobility Reports and was done by regions, taking into account the average age of inhabitants and the number of inhabitants in each region. The analysis focused on different categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces, and residential.INDEX TERMS Mobility habits, COVID-19, mobility impacting factors, mobile devices data.

“…In [13], authors explore the relationship between various factors that influenced mobility such as containment and closure policies, disease trends, and human mobility patterns in 40 countries in Western, Eastern, Northern, and Southern Europe and North America. The model parameter estimations allowed to conclude that the total number of cases, the cancellation of several activities (schools, events, remote work), mask policies and the pandemic declaration all were significant predictors of change in workplace mobility from baseline.…”

In December 2019, the world experienced a pandemic that called into question what we always took for granted, such as our freedom of movement. Tough restrictions imposed across the world were necessary to stem the transmission of the COVID-19 virus and have largely affected the mobility and transport sector. In a first phase, due to the mandatory confinement that forced people not to leave their houses; in a second phase, when the measures eased and people started to have the need to move again, it was necessary to look for alternative means of transport that avoided the gathering of people. In view of the advances that were being made in recent years towards a Mobility-as-a-Service paradigm that advocates multimodal and shared transport, the pandemic has raised many challenges. In this paper, a statistical analysis of the mobility data made available by Apple from January 2020 to March 2021 is presented, where the reduction in the use of public transport becomes evident, leading us to question what the future of Mobility-as-a-Service will be as its foundation advocates, among other aspects, the use of a shared transport model. Despite the challenges that the pandemic has brought to Mobility-asa-Service, a set of opportunities are presented that can be used in the short and medium term to strengthen the paradigm and enhance its massive adoption.
