Resumo(s)
This study examines the possibility of correlation between the data on human mobility
restrictions and the COVID-19 infection rates in two European countries: Poland and Portugal. The
aim of this study is to verify the correlation and causation between mobility changes and the infection
spread as well as to investigate the impact of the introduced restrictions on changes in human mobility.
The data were obtained from Google Community Mobility Reports, Apple Mobility Trends Reports,
and The Humanitarian Data Exchange along with other reports published online. All the data were
organized in one dataset, and three groups of variables were distinguished: restrictions, mobility, and
intensity of the disease. The causal-comparative research design method is used for this study. The
results show that in both countries the state restrictions reduced human mobility, with the strongest
impact in places related to retail and recreation, grocery, pharmacy, and transit stations. At the same
time, the data show that the increase in restrictions had strong positive correlation with stays in
residential places both in Poland and Portugal.
