Background: COVID-19 lockdown has greatly affected people's mental health, where this could lead to non-compliance with it. In turn, there is evidence which establishes that social networks can be used to measure the emotional state of people. Objective: Identify the correlation between public opinion on Twitter through Sentiment Analysis and population mobility in Peru in COVID-19 lockdown. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample is made up of the publications (tweets) made on Twitter during the lockdown in Peru and whose theme is related to quarantine. To determine public opinion, sentiment analysis was used and mobility data were obtained through Google mobility reports. To identify the association between these two variables we used the Poisson regression. Results: It was found that the proportion of tweets categorized as negative were 84.55% meanwhile tweets categorized as positive were 14.09%. During the initial stage of quarantine, a percentage reduction of up to 80% in population mobility was observed, but as the days passed, this increased until a percentage reduction in mobility of only 25% was observed. The statistical analysis does not show a statistically significant association between the variables of interest. Conclusions: No association was found between public opinion on Twitter and population mobility during lockdown in Peru.
