Despite some lessening of the restrictions on outdoor activities in Pennsylvania by Governor Tom Wolf, Delaware County residents are still not sprinting out the door of their homes, write Kevin Schaul, Brittany Renee Mayes, and Bonnie Berkowitz for The Washington Post.

After a peak period of staying put for the first half of last month, residents are beginning to leave their homes slowly and cautiously, according to new GPS data provided by SafeGraph.

In early March, the average time local residents spent at home was between 70 and 75 percent. During the first week of April, that number climbed to around 96 percent and remained in that range for the following weeks.

From the end of last month, the number has started to go down again, but only slightly, with Delaware County residents now spending around 95 percent of their time at home.

And according to the data, when people are leaving their homes, they are going mainly to grocery stores and parks to enjoy the warm weather. Meanwhile, the number of people who are going back to their workplace has barely risen since mid-March.
