![This graph shows the mobility threshold (black line), a calculation based on the seasons (higher in summer) and population (lower in more densely populated provinces) that estimates the maximum amount of out-of-home activity that should be tolerated to keep COVID-19 cases low. The dots represent mobile phone activity in Canada each week over the same time period. The shading around the dots represents COVID-19 growth rate at that time. When mobile activity exceeded the threshold, the growth rates start to increase after a short period of time, and vice versa. (CMAJ)]()
