  • [Pre-print, not peer reviewed] Clipman et al. found strong dose-response relationships between frequency of movement (e.g. traveling for non-essential services) and self-reported SARS-CoV-2 positivity. Social distancing practices were associated with a lower likelihood of reporting a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Travel using public transport and visiting a place of worship were also associated with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection, even after adjusting for social distancing. These findings were based on sampling of 1,030 individuals in Maryland.
