Suffolk has flocked to the parks this week according to new Google mobility data.

The tracking data from Google compares the time spent at various different places compared to pre-Covid baselines.

The baseline period looks at the numbers of those who visited certain places between January 3 and February 6, 2020 — before Covid hit.

The most recent data covers up to June 1 and showed the biggest change was in the number of people flocking to the county's parks.

The latest data showed the number of people heading out to parks was 172% higher than the baseline most likely bolstered by the emergence of sunny skies and warm weather across the county in recent days.

This number was more than double the 73% above the baseline for mid May.

The number of people heading to Suffolk supermarkets and pharmacy's was up 22%.

Retail and recreation visits were up 7% compared to the baseline.

The number of people using public transport remained low at 22% beneath the baseline as did the number of people returning to workplaces, which remained 40% lower than the baseline.

Those sticking to residential locations was 7% above the baseline.
