Social distancing in America during the summer months

Introduction As there is no effective vaccine available yet, social distancing and stay at home orders are two important measures to mitigate the COVID-19 virus. The real challenge lies in ensuring that people comply with these measures for the necessary weeks and months. This project gathered real- time data in the United States to assess to what extent people complied with COVID-19 mitigation measures in the period between May and July. In addition, the project aimed to understand the reasons for people’s decisions to comply (or not). This report outlines the results. To study these questions, a multi-wave cohort survey…

Drawing on video footage of a public shopping street in Amsterdam between May 21 and June 4 2020, this study provides insight into five topics regarding social distancing compliance and face-mask behavior in public spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic. The key results are as follows: 1) Violations of the 1.5-meters distance directive are commonplace in public space. 2) People crowding is strongly positively associated with the rate of social distancing violations, suggesting that distancing violations may potentially be regulated through pedestrian movement management. 3) Most people wear their face-mask correctly, covering both the mouth and the nose. 4) Face-masks are…
