More strategic COVID-19 testing could prevent distancing and shutdowns

According to a new study by Penn State researchers, movement around town predicted COVID-19 cases in Centre County, Pennsylvania, during initial stay-at-home orders and subsequent restricted phases in 2020. The researchers used data from mobile phones and traffic cameras, such as the one pointed at Park Ave near the Penn State Arboretum pictured here, to approximate movement. IMAGE: PENN STATE
