Google is seen launching its new website, which is seen collecting the data from different users of Google products along with its services showcasing the level of social distancing taking place in different locations. The website called the COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports is showcasing the population data trends in six different categories including grocery, retail and recreation along with pharmacy, transit stations, parks, residential locations and workplaces. The data will be seen taking up the track changes seen over the due course of several weeks in the recent hours before the 131 nations taking up the changes within the state.

Google claims to collect and collate all sorts of data instead of making them on the individual level that does not showcase the eternal numbers of people showcasing up parks or grocery stores. The idea rather than going with the outline percentages are seen showcasing the potential surges seen in attendance. For instance, its the first of its report that states the San Francisco Country claiming to have seen the drop by 72 percent in retail and recreation witnessing the 55 percent decline in the pollution found in parks along with boosting the residential population by 21 percent between Feb 16 to March 29.

For the various public health departments, this kind of data can be seen very much helpful in keeping the people alert in the coming next potential COVID-19 hotspot. This, in particular, seems to be very much true when we are seen getting combined with the other forms of data, which are seen already in the routinely collected data seen over the local area or state or at the federal level. This comes as the symptoms where the patients are seen complaining about the emergency rooms. This can be useful in supporting the public health officials that seem to have targeted the specific areas with the required level of messaging regarding the significance of staying above the six feet apart, or close parks where one can see the residents are found routinely flouting the rules. 

This type of information can be very much specifically vital for people in different nations that start the return to school and work. In this case, we see public health officials coming out with the use of data for learning where the congested areas are seen with the kind of response they are getting. This data the tech giant claims to help the officials understand the various kinds of changes one would need in carrying out the required level of trips which further helps in shaping up the recommendations over the business hours along with informing the delivery service offerings. But with the efforts about renewing privacy concerns about the way Google is seen collecting the data regarding the locations of the users comes into the picture. The new website has leveraged the data aggregated and anonymized the data from different Location History settings seen over Google Maps along with various other services.
