This study was conducted to correlate the mobility trend and the situation of COVID-19 by country territory and area. This research paper adopts an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach for 115 countries from February 17th to August 27th, 2020. Tajikistan (r=0.956) and Italy (r=0.931) has the highest positive correlation for retail and recreations. For grocery the highest degree of positive correlation is Mongolia (r=0.945) and Tajikistan (r=0.933). Botswana and Italy showed highest significant positive correlation among countries (r=0.985 and r=0.902 respectively) for transit stations and residential (r=0.994 and r=0.984). Botswana also has the highest significant positive correlation for the park (r=0.980). Meanwhile for the workplace Mauritius (r=0.863) and Dominica (r=07.85) are countries with the highest degree of positive correlation with a cumulative case of COVID-19. Society’s behavior plays an important role by following the government policy in order to slow down the spread of the virus. Retail and recreations groceries and pharmacy stores transit stations parks and workplaces found to have a significant positive correlation while residential have a significant negative correlation with cumulative cases of COVID-19 in most countries.
