Supplemental Tables and Figures for a COVID-19 Social Mobility Transmission Model

Sweden, Norway, and Germany (Berlin and Bavaria) are the geographic scope for this data, which supplements a research paper analyzing SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The dataset likely contains results from a state-space model applied over 17 months in Sweden and Norway and 10 months in Germany, using hospitalization, vaccination, temperature, and virus strain data. It was authored by Felix Günther and last updated on 2026-05-08.

Use Cases

• Calibrating transmission models based on Google community mobility reports for four social settings.
• Comparing the relative importance of public transport versus workplace contacts for infection spread across different countries.
• Estimating seasonal effects on transmission potential by analyzing the reported 40% drop in summer compared to winter.
• Assessing the proportion of infections (40-65%) explained by modeled social activity data.

Strengths

• Model results are provided for three distinct countries over specific timeframes (17 months for Sweden/Norway, 10 months for Germany).
• Analysis quantifies the impact of specific social settings, with public transport identified as an important setting for infections.
• The model adapts to specific cases, showing differing dominant secondary transmission settings (Retail and recreation in Germany vs. Workplace in Sweden/Norway).

Limitations

• Dataset size is 45.5 KB, indicating a very limited scope, likely containing only summary tables and figures.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the selected regions and study period.
