We also find a strong relationship between the number of days above the epidemic threshold before the mobility flows reduce significantly as an effect of lockdowns, and the total number of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections per 100k inhabitants, thus indirectly showing the effectiveness of the lockdown and the other non-pharmaceutical interventions in the containment of the contagion. The relationship between human mobility and viral transmissibility during the COVID-19 epidemics in Italy Page 10 Net Reproduction Number R t Epidemiologic Data Figure 4 and 5 show the evolution of the mobility self-flows (blue curves), the net reproduction number (orange curves) and the number of positive cases (grey curves) for the northern regions and central-southern regions, respectively.	./cache/cord-158219-hk55bzqm.txt	./txt/cord-158219-hk55bzqm.txt
