Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: The mobility location data acquired from Veraset relies on GPS check-ins from several mobile phone applications. As such, individuals who do not use these applications or do not consent to sharing their data will not be captured. While this will underestimate absolute measures of mobility, the relative differences calculated between the periods are robust. Furthermore, a dearth in geospatial footprint data per facility limited the spatial accuracy in detectability of devices by a generalized 50 metre buffer although this sampling error was consistent across all facilities. Finally, we were not able to assess the temporal association between staff mobility and COVID-19 outbreaks in LTC homes as this would require longitudinal mobility data on a granular level.
