Taking that into account, this work aimed to identify variations on population mobility in South America during the pandemic (15 February to 27 October 2020). We used a data-driven approach to create a community mobility index from the Google Covid-19 Community Mobility and relate it to the Covid stringency index from Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT). Two hypotheses were established: countries which have adopted stricter social distancing measures have also a lower level of circulation (H1), and mobility is occurring randomly in space (H2). Considering a transient period, a low capacity of governments to respond to the pandemic with more stringent measures of social distancing was observed at the beginning of the crisis. In turn, considering a steady-state period, the results showed an inverse relationship between the Covid stringency index and the community mobility index for at least three countries (H1 rejected). Regarding the spatial analysis, global and local Moran indices revealed regional mobility patterns for Argentina, Brazil, and Chile (H1 rejected). In Brazil, the absence of coordinated policies between the federal government and states regarding social distancing may have played an important role for several and extensive clusters formation. On the other hand, the results for Argentina and Chile could be signals for the difficulties of governments in keeping their population under control, and for long periods, even under stricter decrees.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi10030121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]],"date-time":"2021-03-01T10:25:18Z","timestamp":1614594318000},"page":"121","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Evaluating Social Distancing Measures and Their Association with the Covid-19 Pandemic in South America"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6037-9660","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gisliany Lillian Alves de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Metr\u00f3pole Digital, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal 59078-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1385-5908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciana","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Demografia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal 59078-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0116-6489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivanovitch","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Metr\u00f3pole Digital, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal 59078-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5751-8386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcel da C\u00e2mara","family":"Ribeiro-Dantas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, Institut Curie, Universit\u00e9 PSL, CNRS UMR168, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, 75005 Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7153-9906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kayo Henrique","family":"Monteiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Engenharia da Computa\u00e7\u00e3o, Universidade de Pernambuco, Recife 50720-001, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9163-5583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia Takako","family":"Endo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Programa de P\u00f3s-Gradua\u00e7\u00e3o em Engenharia da Computa\u00e7\u00e3o, Universidade de Pernambuco, Recife 50720-001, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2020, August 01).
