The COronaVID: What will COVID-19 mean for our everyday lives?

Abstract

This paper presents the research project CoronaLytics, including objectives, methods and preliminary results. The project examines the development of partly the prevalence of the corona-virus and partly of the Danes' changed life patterns. The paper will also consider how our changed behaviour - and life patterns may affect the way we use urban space.

An app has been launched - COronaVIDen - which logs citizen-shared activity data from wearables (SmartWatch, fitness trackers, etc.) or from smartphones. The collected data is supplemented with an interactive questionnaire in the app, so that activity data can also be linked to demographics, cohabitants in the household, time-stamped registrations of symptoms of COVID-19 and possibly completed tests for viruses and antibodies, etc..
