In March, Governors enacted a sweeping set of actions to increase social distancing to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The open question was whether people would heed these measures.
The answer came from SafeGraph which has a dataset of foot traffic for 5 million businesses and organizations including 5,500 retail chains and 3 million small businesses.
Safegraph is providing free access of some of their datasets to help researchers, non-profits, and governments respond to COVID-19 and support their economic recoveries. So far, more than 1,000 organizations including the CDC are already in the Safegraph data consortium.
We are joined this week by Ryan Fox Squire, a Senior Data Strategist at Safegraph who discusses how Safegraph is helping leaders with navigating the difficult decisions they face with enacting and now relaxing social distancing measures.
