“…This is important because the literature on this epidemic is dominated by epidemiological and mathematical studies and spatial analyses undertaken are conducted primarily on a global (e.g., Sigler et al, 2021 ) and national scale (Oiu, Chen 2020 – China; Zhu & Zhu, 2020 – China; Abedi et al, 2020 – USA; Wu et al, 2020 – USA, Zemtsov, Baburin 2021 – Russia; Gribaudo et al, 2021 – Italy and Śleszyński, 2020 – Poland; Parysek & Mierzejewska, 2021 – Poland). Far fewer publications deal with individual cities ( Li et al, 2020 – Wuhan; Aloi et al, 2020 – Santander; Pisano, 2020 – Paris and Milano), and even more with groups of cities (Oiu, Chen 2020 – China; Xie & Zhu, 2020 – China; Magnoni, 2021 – Italy). In the latter, however, the research issue and empirical scope of the research were defined differently compared to this study.…”
