Mobility data is crucial in understanding the spread of infectious diseases. By analyzing how people move and interact, epidemiologists can model potential transmission pathways and identify areas at higher risk. This data helps in:
Contact Tracing: Identifying who might have been in close contact with an infected person. Predicting Outbreaks: Anticipating where new cases might arise based on movement patterns. Evaluating Interventions: Assessing the effectiveness of measures such as lockdowns or travel restrictions.
