COVID-19 pandemic: environmental and social factors influencing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the expanded metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract: The new Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has infected more than three million people worldwide so far. Brazil is currently the second leading country in number of critical cases and the third in number of new deaths caused by COVID-19, while São Paulo State accounts for more than 33% of total confirmed cases in Brazil. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 spread in São Paulo State is an important task. The aim of this study was to assess environmental and social factors influencing the spread of SARS-Co… Show more

“…The spread of a deadly virus can be inflated with the increasing number of human beings (population size) (Lulbadda, K.T, 2021). Population density (PD) is a measure of population per unit area, and it is likely just one of many key factors that determine how vulnerable places are to the virus (Florida, 2020; Nakada and Urban, 2020; Roy and Ghosh, 2020; Tantrakarnapa et al , 2020). As a result, the major prevention mechanism that is called “social distancing” is more effective when applied with minimal latency (Mishra and Yadav, 2020).…”

“…Michael J. Abramowitz, president of Freedom House Social distancing is a method to minimize crowd interactions and prevent the spread of COVID-19 within groups of people. There has been much discussion about the positive impact of social distancing on slowing infection rates of COVID-19 (Aslam, 2020;Dowd et al, 2020;Nakada and Urban, 2020;Moosa, 2020). On the other hand, the feature of liberal democracy and civil liberties like the right to assemble peacefully, right to vote, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, right to travel freely, right to marry and others which are directly or indirectly linked with people's gathering and by its nature starkly contrast with those social distancing efforts.…”

“…The widely used statistical methods for COVID-19 epidemiological factor analysis and evaluation of intervention measures include correlation analysis (Farseev et al 2020; Tantrakarnapa et al 2020; Priyadarsini and Suresh, 2020; Nakada and Urban 2020), regression (Chaudhry et al 2020), the spatial autoregressive (SAR) model (Baum and Henry, 2020), logistic regression (Coccia M 2020) and a transmission dynamic model coupled with a linear model (Livadiotis 2020). The most examined scalar factors consists of underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, cardiac or kidney diseases, and aging individuals (Priyadarsini and Suresh, 2020; Zhou et al 2020; Raghupathi 2019), atmospheric temperature (Tantrakarnapa et al 2020), age, gender, ethnicity, and population density (Priyadarsini and Suresh, 2020; Anderson et al 2020), airflow (Priyadarsini and Suresh, 2020), and socioeconomics such as median income (Coccia 2020; Saadat et al 2020).…”
