One Year of Social Distancing Behavior on the Streets of Amsterdam

To mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Dutch government enforced that citizens should keep 1.5-meter distance from strangers in public. NSCR researchers evaluate compliance with this directive by drawing on more than 40.895 hours of video recordings of public space captured by 57 municipal public surveillance cameras in Amsterdam through the first year of the pandemic - from March 2020 to January 2021.
