Abstract: Abstract This research examines the relationship between daily Covid-19 cases and public mobility for six different places, where mobility can be high, in Brazil, the UK, and the USA. We tried to show how the spreading effect of infectious diseases occurs in places where human mobility is intense. The data consists of daily data covering the periods from 28/02/2020 to 08/02/2021, which includes the database of Our World in Data and Google Mobility Reports. Basically, there is a positive correlation between mobility and case numbers. Results in the paper differ from country to country. That is to say, mobility in grocery stores and pharmacies can be said to have an impact on the number of cases in all three countries. Brazil is the country where mobility in parks has the strongest impact. The country which has the lowest frequency in retail outlets is America.
