“…It is worth mentioning that geographic and socioeconomic inequality presents itself as a differential for a greater or lesser chance of surviving or dying from infection by the same virus. This evidence has been demonstrated by several other studies, which highlight a notable difference in access to health services, notably in the waiting time to meet healthcare demands and referral to more complex care [31][32][33][34][35][36][37] . Another equally relevant aspect is that social vulnerability also presents itself in the possibility of social distancing.…”

Objective: To describe the space-time evolution of cases and deaths due to COVID-19 in the Rio de Janeiro municipality, Brazil, during the first year of the pandemic. Methods: An ecological study was carried out. The units of analysis were the neighborhoods of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Incidence and mortality rates, excess risk, Global Moran's Index (Moran's I), local indicator for spatial association, standardized incidence ratio, and standardized mortality ratio were estimated for neighborhoods in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. Results: Over the first year of the pandemic, registries in the city of Rio de Janeiro included 204,888 cases and 19,017 deaths due to COVID-19. During the first three months of the pandemic, higher incidence rates were verified in the municipality compared with the state of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, in addition to higher mortality rates compared with the state of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil from May 2020 to February 2021. Bonsucesso was the neighborhood with the highest incidence and mortality rates, and throughout the neighborhoods and months, there is no synchrony between the worst moments of the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The authors emphasize the need for implementing more rigid control and prevention measures, increasing case detection, and accelerating the COVID-19 immunization campaign.

“…Initially, cases were concentrated in wealthier neighborhoods and then spread throughout the city. This may be because the more privileged populations have more resources for displacement, favoring the spread of the virus in their places of residence or spreading it to other people outside [14].…”

Introduction: COVID-19 is a major public health concern in this century. The causative agent SARS-CoV-2, is highly contagious and spreads continuously across territories. Spatial analysis is of enormous importance in the process of understanding the disease and its transmission mechanisms. We aimed to identify the risk areas for COVID-19 and analyze their association with social vulnerability in Maceió, Alagoas. The study was conducted in 2020. Methodology: This is an ecological study to evaluate the incidence, mortality and case fatality rate of COVID-19 and their relationship with 12 indicators of human development and social vulnerability. Multivariate and spatial statistics were applied. A 95% confidence interval and a 5% confidence level were considered. Results: The spatial scan statistic revealed the existence of six high-risk clusters for the incidence of COVID-19. The regression model showed that social indicators, such as literacy of people, residents of private households, households with more than four residents, and resident brown population, were associated with COVID-19 transmission in Maceió-AL. The disease affected localities whose populations are exposed to a context of intense socioeconomic vulnerability. Conclusions: Based on the results, it is necessary to adopt measures that take into account the social determinants of health in order to minimize the damage caused by the pandemic.

“…A constituição de periferias e favelas expressa lógicas de competitividade, concentração e seletividade dos investimentos, infraestruturas e mobilidade, diferenciando os riscos e as possibilidades de enfrentamento da pandemia conforme os bairros. Naqueles mais pobres e adensados das metrópoles, com déficit de esgotamento sanitário, acesso à água, produtos de higiene, alimentos, energia, informação, renda e unidades de saúde, menos providos de oportunidades de renda, trabalho e mobilidade, é onde a população vivencia as maiores dificuldades para fazer isolamento físico, se prevenir, se cuidar e acessar os serviços de saúde 25,27,29,42 . Não à toa, os riscos de adoecimento e letalidade são mais acentuados entre negros e pobres, que são a população vulnerável, vivendo em lugares vulnerabilizados 18 .…”

Resumo: Este Ensaio traz uma reflexão sobre como as desigualdades socioespaciais e as situações geográficas são condicionantes da pandemia da COVID-19 no Brasil, assim como das ações para o seu enfrentamento. A bibliografia de apoio fundamenta os argumentos. Compreende-se a desigualdade socioespacial como processo e condição estrutural de um território marcado por vulnerabilidades herdadas e atualizadas, resultante da relação de exploração, espoliação e opressão no atual período da globalização. Argumenta-se que a pandemia da COVID-19 pode ter repercussões mais graves em contextos de maior desigualdade socioespacial, com aprofundamento sistêmico e duradouro das crises econômica e social nos lugares. Contudo, as ações importam, incluindo as articulações entre diversos grupos, instituições e setores. A análise da situação geográfica contribui para a compreensão do território herdado e das diferentes experiências da COVID-19 indissociavelmente das condições e dos sentidos da ação frente à pandemia, em cada lugar. A situação expressa a tensão entre a liberdade e a condição para a ação. A crise não é apenas sanitária, é um dado do período atual, e a desigualdade se revela como a maior emergência do século XXI.
