Abstract

Objective: Analyze the data from COVID-19 between the regions of Brazil, comparing the different realities, taking into account the mortality, lethality, incidence and social isolation rates. Methods: This is an observational analytical study. From the demographic density, the rates of incidence, mortality, lethality and social isolation were analyzed. In addition, data were collected regarding the number of public and private beds available for COVID-19 in each state of the country. Spearman's correlation between the variables population density, number of cases, number of beds and number of deaths in the Brazilian states was used to analyze the associations. Results: The study evaluated 3,817,904 confirmed cases and 120,530 deaths across Brazil, with a general lethality of 3.15. The North Region had the highest incidence rates and the South Region had the lowest incidence rates. With these data, it was possible to verify the existence of a positive relationship between incidence and mortality rates. Conclusion: The study demonstrated a huge epidemic and socioeconomic discrepancy between Brazilian regions, directly impacting the incidence and mortality from COVID-19.
