Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) [US], May 12 (ANI): Parks played an important role for people seeking respite from the toll of social isolation during the pandemic, and they did so without increasing the spread of COVID-19, according to new research from Drexel University.
The study looked at how people used 22 parks in Philadelphia and New York during the height of the pandemic and it found no strong correlation between park use and the number of confirmed cases in surrounding neighbourhoods.
Published in the Journal of Extreme Events, Drexel s study Urban Park Usage During the COVID-19 Pandemic surveyed park visitors over a three-month period from May to July 2020 at small and mid-size parks in New York and Philadelphia.
