WASHINGTON—Government officials across the U.S. are using location
data from millions of cellphones in a bid to better understand the
movements of Americans during the coronavirus pandemic and how they
may be affecting the spread of the disease.<br>
<br>
The federal government, through the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and state and local governments have started to receive
analyses about the presence and movement of people in certain areas
of geographic interest drawn from cellphone data, people familiar
with the matter said. The data comes from the mobile advertising
industry rather than cellphone carriers.<br>
