Introduction:
Real-time mobility data from Wuhan, China, and detailed case data, including travel history, was of vital importance for the control of COVID-19, in order to determine the impact of control measures.
Objective:
To analyze the cases reported in the five most affected regions by COVID-19 in Peru, and its correlation with mobility data.
Method:
Data of the confirmed cases of COVID-19 obtained from the Centro Nacional de Epidemiologia, Prevención y Control de Enfermedades de Perú (National Center for Epidemiology, Prevention and Control of Diseases of Peru) (https://www.dge.gob.pe/) in the period from 6 From March until August 17, 2020 were included; and the regions with the highest number of cases (CDC-Peru) (Arequipa, Callao, Lima, Lambayeque and Piura) were selected. The mobility data was obtained from the Local Mobility Reports (Community Mobility Reports-Google Mobility Reports) (https://www.google.com/covid19/mobility/) of Peru and downloaded in a CSV file. The categories included in the mobility reports were: retail stores and leisure, public transport stations, workplaces and residential areas.
Results:
165 data found in Google Mobility Reports were analyzed; these having a daily data frequency. The same amount of data was obtained from the CDC-Peru. A drop was observed in all places studied except for residential areas in the country. Regarding associations, a negative correlation was found only in residential areas.
Conclusion:
There was a reduction in mobility due to quarantine, and staying at home is a factor to avoid infections.
