People moving during coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in European cities 2020

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has forced governments across the world to implement social distancing measures and lockdowns in order to reduce the number of new cases and deaths. Using data from their travel app, Citymapper were able to produce a Mobility Index to indicate the movements of certain European cities during the period from March 16-22, 2020. Countries hardest hit by the virus and where lockdowns are in places appeared to have the least amount of movement. In Milan, Italy, only four percent of the city were moving and in Madrid, Spain, only five percent according to the Index. However in other affected cities movement was still higher, such as in London where 36 percent of the city were still moving in the week ending March 22; The next day, the UK govenrment implemented a lockdown with stricter regulations regarding when people can go out.
