Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on many aspects of society in recent years. The ever-increasing number of daily cases and deaths makes people apprehensive about leaving their homes without a mask or going to crowded places for fear of becoming infected, especially when vaccination was not available. People were expected to respect confinement rules and have their public events cancelled as more restrictions were imposed. As a result of the pandemic’s insecurity and instability, people became more at ease at home, increasing their desire to stay at home. The present research focuses on studying the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the desire to stay at home and which metrics have a greater influence on this topic, using Big Data tools. It was possible to understand how the number of new cases and deaths influenced the desire to stay at home, as well as how the increase in vaccinations influenced it. Moreover, investigated how gatherings and confinement restrictions affected people’s desire to stay at home.
