| Abstract | Objective: Since the outbreak of COVID-19, public health and social measures to contain its transmission (e.g., social distancing and lockdowns) have dramatically changed peopleâs lives in rural and urban areas globally. To facilitate future management of the pandemic, it is important to understand how different socio-demographic groups adhere to such demands. This study aims to evaluate the influences of restriction policies on human mobility variations associated with socio-demographic groups in England, UK. Methods: Using mobile phone global positioning system (GPS) trajectory data, we measured variations in human mobility across socio-demographic groups during different restriction periods from Oct 14, 2020 to Sep 15, 2021. The six restriction periods which varied in degree of mobility restriction policies, denoted as `Three-tier Restriction', `Second National Lockdown', `Four-tier Restriction', `Third National Lockdown', `Steps out of Lockdown', and `Post-restriction', respectively. Individual human mobility was measured with respect to the time period people stayed at home, visited places outside the home, and travelled long distances. We compared these indicators across the six restriction periods and across socio-demographic groups. Results: All human mobility indicators significantly differed across the six restriction periods, and the influences of restriction policies on individual mobility behaviours are correlated with socio-demographic groups. In particular, influences relating to mobility behaviours are stronger in younger and low-income groups in the second and third national lockdowns. Conclusions: This study enhances our understanding of the influences of COVID-19 pandemic restriction policies on human mobility behaviours within different social groups in England. The findings can be usefully extended to support policy-making by investigating human mobility and differences in policy effects across not only age and income groups, but also across geographical regions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
