Abstract:

The spatial analysis method allows measuring the spatial accessibility of health services to allocate resources efficiently and effectively. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution o COVID-19 rates and health resources in the Amazonia Legal. Ecological study, carried out with COVID-19 case and health resources in 772 municipalities at two peaks of the pandemic. The global and local bayesian method were used for the elaboration of choropleth maps, with calculation of the Moran index to analyze the spatial dependence and use of the MoranMap to identify clusters of the disease. The Moran índices calculated for the two periods showed a positive spatial autocorrelation of this distribution and spatial dependence between the municipalities in the two periods, without much difference between the two estimators. Higther rates of the disease were observed in the states of Amapá, Amazonas and Roraima. In relation to health resources, an ineficiente allocation was observed, with greater concentration in the capitals.
