Last week, Google released its "COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports." The company said it released the data because they heard from public health officials who said the information could be helpful as officials make critical decisions to fight COVID-19.

The reports chart movement trends over time by geography, across different categories of places such as retail and recreation, groceries and pharmacies, parks, transit stations, workplaces and residential, according to Google.

Last week the report showed New Yorkers were doing less social distancing the people in Italy or all of Europe.

Below is the data from Google in terms of foot traffic for Retail and Recreation; Grocery and Pharmacy; Parks; Transit Stations; and Workplaces compared to the baseline for all of the counties in the region.
