Abstract
In this study we reviewed a wide array of databases to categorize the mobility management measures in more than 40 countries worldwide during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sixteen types of measures were identified and associated with certain features (transport modes, stringency index, application scale, socioeconomic benefits etc.). Europe highly promoted cycling-friendly measures while the USA and Canada favored measures with mutual benefits to pedestrians, public transport, and outdoor-space businesses. Oceania and Asia followed stricter containment policies with a less diverse bundle of mobility measures. The gradual application of few mobility measures was highlighted as a successful pandemic suppression strategy in mainland Europe. Our findings enable a deeper understanding of mobility measures’ purpose and impact and support optimal strategies for addressing epidemics.
