“…The most frequent researches are focused on the vulnerability of the population to the epidemic, such as those carried out by Jordan et al [ 12 ], DeCaprio, et al [ 13 ] or Lakhani [ 14 ], the latter framed in Melbourne. There are also studies that analyze the socio-economic impact of the pandemic [ 15 ]. Sajadi et al [ 16 ] and O’Reilly et al [ 17 ], among others, focus on the explanatory factors that can influence the contagion pattern, such as dynamic (e.g., population flows), and environmental elements (especially climate).…”

The concept of neighborhood contagion focus is defined and justified as a basic spatial unit for epidemiological diagnosis and action, and a specific methodological procedure is provided to detect and map focuses and micro-focuses of contagion without using regular or artificial spatial units. The starting hypothesis is that the contagion in urban spaces manifests unevenly in the form of clusters of cases that are generated and developed by neighborhood contagion. Methodologically, the spatial distribution of those infected in the study area, the city of Málaga (Spain), is firstly analyzed from the disaggregated and anonymous address information. After defining the concept of neighborhood contagion focus and justifying its morphological parameters, a method to detect and map neighborhood contagion focus in urban settings is proposed and applied to the study case. As the main results, the existence of focuses and micro-focuses in the spatial pattern of contagion is verified. Focuses are considered as an ideal spatial analysis unit, and the advantages and potentialities of the use of mapping focus as a useful tool for health and territorial management in different phases of the epidemic are shown.

“…A recent study found that the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world tended to appear rst in the most economically developed regions where high-level international trade and commercial activities were prevalent. With initially spreading along the routes of international trade between the developed regions, the virus spread later to the developing parts [20]. In our study, the higher coe cient was observed in the midlands and northern cities in comparison with the southern cities of China in the GWPR model.…”

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread quickly among the crowd and brought serious global impact since December 2019. However, there were considerable geographical disparities in the distribution of the COVID-19 incidence among different cities. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of sociodemographic factors on COVID-19 incidence of 342 cities in China from the geographic perspective.Methods: The official surveillance data about the COVID-19 and sociodemographic information in the 342 cities of China were collected. Local GWPR model and global GLM Poisson regression model were compared to find the optimal one for analysis. Results: A significantly lower AICc in the GWPR model was shown compared with the GLM Poisson regression model (43218.9 in GWPR vs. 61953.0 in GLM, respectively). Any spatial auto-correlations of residuals were not found in the GWPR model (global Moran’s I = -0.005, p = 0.468), representing the spatial auto-correlation had been captured by the GWPR model. These cities with higher GDP, limited health resources, and shorter distance to Wuhan, were at higher risk for COVID-19. As population density increased, the incidence of COVID-19 decreased for most of the cities, except parts of the southeastern cities. Conclusions: There are potential effects of the sociodemographic factors on the COVID-19 incidence. Furthermore, the findings and methodology in our study could be used as a guide to other countries to help understand the local transmission of COVID-19 and tailor site-specific intervention strategies.

“…Waterson, 2021), Western societies have clearly played a role in its propagation and development-in part, through their reluctance to accept that the epidemic could be controlled without access to a vaccine, as seems largely to have happened in South East Asia (An and Tang 2020). As Ludovic et al (2020) have highlighted, integration into a globalized market economy has been one of the drivers of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, countries with higher levels of trade also experienced a higher number of COVID-19 cases in april 2020.…”
