JUE Insight: The geographic spread of COVID-19 correlates with the structure of social networks as measured by Facebook

Theresa Kuchler et al.

Summary: The use of aggregated data from Facebook shows that COVID-19 tends to spread more easily in regions with stronger social network connections. Areas that have more social ties to early COVID-19 hotspots in the U.S. and Italy had a higher number of confirmed cases by the end of March. These relationships remain significant even after taking into account geographic distance, population density, and demographics. The study suggests that social connectedness data from online platforms can be valuable for epidemiologists and others in predicting the spread of communicable diseases like COVID-19.
