Cellphone location data shows where people are leaving home and coming near other people.
Americans have been keeping their distance from one another since late March. But new data suggests that those habits are coming to an end for more than 10 million people.
According to an NBC News analysis of cellphone location data provided by the analytics and marketing company Cuebiq, people in more than 450 counties across the country have started to come near one another more frequently. And as people begin to gather in greater numbers, health officials are watching for a new round of coronavirus spikes.
Cuebiq analyzed detailed location data from more than 15 million mobile devices in the contiguous U.S. from March 1 to June 2 to determine how often people were standing alongside one another and up to 50 feet away from someone else while away from home. The data shows that while contact levels are still low nationally, they are creeping back up, and in some places they are near or back to pre-pandemic levels.
The counties where the number of times people are away from home and around one another is near pre-pandemic levels, according to cellphone location data. Data as of June 2.

Cuebiq's data does not attempt to tie social distancing behavior to transmission rates of the coronavirus. And at 50 feet, the width of a basketball court, you would be more than eight times the recommended guideline for minimum distancing from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the data, which can be taken as a measure of how often people come near other people, show the extent to which Americans changed their behavior to slow the coronavirus and where that behavior is changing back.
