As most cities have begun their phased re-openings, many employees are slowly returning to their offices. But just how quickly are people returning to their daily lives? Kastle Systems, a managed security services provider to commercial businesses, has released anonymous data from their properties in 10 major U.S. cities to better help understand occupancy patterns in light of COVID-19.
In March, when coronavirus caused many people to shelter in place and work from home full time, occupancy rates plummeted across the country. In the Kastle Back to Work Barometer, a sharp decline emerges in the early days of March in both San Francisco and New York City. Cities such as Dallas and Philadelphia started to see a decline in mid-March. The data represents weekday swipes of Kastle access controls in 10 major cities.
