COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports, Brazil

This dataset measures the mobility trend in different dimensions (location categories) for Brazil, Federation Units and Municipalities. It is based on Google's Mobility Report. Location categories are: * supermarkets and pharmacies * parks * public transport stations * retail and leisure places * working places * dwelling For aggregation purposes, daily measurements were transformed into weekly averages (by epidemiological week).

This dataset was used as part project - Evaluating Effects of Social Inequalities on the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil. Maria Yury Ichihara and colleagues at the Centre for Data and Knowledge Integration for Health (Cidacs) at Fiocruz in Brazil created a social disparities index to measure inequalities relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as unequal access to healthcare, to identify regions that are more vulnerable to infection and to better focus prevention efforts.

In Brazil, markers of inequality are associated with COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. They developed the index with available COVID-19 surveillance data, hosted on the Cidacs platform, and built a public data visualisation dashboard to share the index and patterns of COVID-19 incidence and mortality with the broader community. This enabled health managers and policymakers to monitor the pandemic situation in the most vulnerable populations and target social and health interventions.
