This article aims to assess the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread-prevention actions on water consumption, based on a case study in Joinville, Southern Brazil. Residential water consumption data, obtained through telemetry in two periods (before and after a governmental action imposing quarantine and social isolation), were analyzed. Complementarily, the analyses were also applied to the commercial, industrial and public consumption categories. For the analysis, Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric tests were applied and Prais-Winsten regression models were adjusted. The results of the Wilcoxon test show that there are significant differences between the analyzed periods, indicating a water consumption drop in the commercial, industrial and public categories, and an increase in the residential category. The regression model results confirm the effect of the restrictive actions in reducing consumption in non-residential categories. The results also indicate an increase in water consumption, which was steeper in apartment buildings than in houses, whether isolated or grouped in condominiums. A weak association was found between the variation in water consumption and the spatial distribution of buildings. Understanding water consumption related aspects is important to gather essential information to ensure the urban water supply system is resilient in a pandemic situation.

“…Throughout human history, human settlement may allow cities to operate with higher operation efficiency and greater economy scales when compared to rural areas. However, urban regions are more prone to outbreaks of epidemic disease, which has led to much reflection and new explorations in urban construction ( Megahed & Ghoneim, 2020 ; Spencer, Finucane, Fox, Saksena, & Sultana, 2020 ). With the further spread of this Novel Coronavirus diseases (namely COVID-19, and Global reporting data show that there have been 25,728,392 confirmed cases, 17,938,474 cured cases and 856,470 death cases on 1 September 2020).…”

“…Human health issues related to the urban context was previously investigated ( Orimoloye, Mazinyo, Kalumba, Ekundayo, & Nel, 2019 ; Wang, 2020 ) and other work showed that property price reduced after pandemic ( Ambrus, Field, & Gonzalez, 2020 ). The change of residential-built environment characteristics due to pandemic were also discussed ( Spencer, Finucane, Fox, Saksena, & Sultana, 2020 ). Effect of social isolation for flu infection was also discussed before ( Aiello et al, 2016 ).…”

COVID-19 transmission in London city was discussed in this work from an urban context. The association between COVID-19 cases and climate indicators in London, UK were analysed statistically employing published data from national health services, UK and Time and Date AS based weather data. The climatic indicators included in the study were the daily averages of maximum and minimum temperatures, humidity, and wind speed. Pearson, Kendall, and Spearman rank correlation tests were selected for data analysis. The data was considered up to two different dates to study the climatic effect (10th May in the first study and then updated up to 16th of July in the next study when the rest of the data was available). The results were contradictory in the two studies and it can be concluded that climatic parameters cannot solely determine the changes in the number of cases in the pandemic. Distance from London to four other cities (Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, and Sheffield) showed that as the distance from the epicentre of the UK (London) increases, the number of COVID-19 cases decrease. What should be the necessary measure to be taken to control the transmission in cities have been discussed.
