HONG KONG - Apple has launched a new website that shows with striking graphs how the coronavirus pandemic has slammed the brakes on life around the world.
It shows the dramatic drop in the number of users driving, walking or taking public transit as governments around the world rolled out increasingly stringent containment measures to stop the spread of the deadly virus. Hong Kong and Seoul, among the first places hit by the virus after it emerged in mainland China, saw mobility numbers drop by as much as 60 per cent from the second half of January.
Rome saw a staggering drop in mobility numbers - more than 90 per cent - starting early March. London followed within a couple of weeks with a plunge in transit figures of nearly 90 per cent.
