The calculated mobility rate is shown for each grid cell, provided that the cells are filled for the current point in time and for the reference period of the previous year and that they are not subject to anonymisation. The small-scale grid cell data are visualised cartographically in the form of interactive grid maps. To analyse the change in mobility over the course of the day, the Federal Statistical Office makes use of hourly mobility values at the small-area level. Measures such as the ban on large events and the restriction of catering for out-of-home consumption, as well as the temporary regional curfews, have a particular impact on mobility in the evening, at night time hours and on weekends. The regional and nationwide restriction measures taken because of the COVID-19 pandemic aim at reducing personal contacts and thus the risk of infection. This allows the changes in daily mobility to be shown right from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to Figure 1, the calculated results in this figure go back to January 2019. In addition to the cartographic representation, Figure 2 compares the change in mobility in an aggregated form for the individual Länder. The cartographic representation in Figure 1 shows the daily change in mobility for each district over the past 31 days to the current end. Further details on public holiday adjustment are provided under the section " Methodological challenges". Rates of change for public holidays are in turn calculated in comparison with the corresponding public holiday in 2019, i.e. For non-holidays, public holidays are therefore excluded from the calculation of the reference value. A value of -20, for example, shows that mobility is 20% lower than in the respective month of 2019.įurthermore, an adjustment is made for public holidays, as the usually lower mobility on public holidays distorts the reference values. Following this, the daily mobility determined in this way is compared with an average value for the corresponding weekday from the same month of 2019. In order to depict the change in general mobility behaviour, all entries to, and mobility within the administrative districts are being evaluated for each district. As with the other experimental data on our website, the indicators differ in maturity and quality from official statistics. The results and conclusions that can be drawn from the experimental indicators should therefore be interpreted with caution. This article presents first results from an ongoing project of an experimental nature.
In Germany, as in many other countries, the closure of shops, schools and universities, workplaces, cultural institutions and much more aim at reducing social contacts.īased on mobile network data available in the short term, the Federal Statistical Office compiles regional indicators that show the development of individual mobility at administrative district and municipality levels. 21 July 2022 - Measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic have brought public life largely to a standstill in most countries of the world.
