The SARS-CoV-2 effective reproduction rate has a high correlation with a contact index derived from large-scale individual location data using GPS-enabled mobile phones in Germany
S Ruediger et al, MEDRXIV, October 9, 2020

We derived the contact index, an index for the intensity of contact behavior from spatial proximity between individuals as proxy for physical interaction based on large-scale GPS mobile phone data of 1.15 to 1.4 million users A high correlation between the contact index and the effective reproduction number six days later could be observed in three different phases of the virus spread in Germany.
