Abstract:

Objective: describe the epidemiological profile and the spatial distribution of deaths and confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the Western health macro-region of Bahia. Methods: ecological study on the interiorization of SARS-CoV-2 between March 21, 2020 and March 31, 2021, considering incidence and mortality coefficient, lethality, case density and moving average of cases and deaths were calculated. Results: 37,036 cases and 536 confirmed deaths were recorded. Of the cases, 94.5% are recovered and 4.0% are active. The incidence coefficient was 3884.1, the mortality coefficient (both per 100,000 inhabitants) 56.2 and the lethality was 1.4% The predominance of very high and high intensity of the occurrence of COVID-19 in the macro-region was identified, with the moving average showed a trend of growth. Conclusion: The findings describe a high risk of infection and death in the macroregion, in addition to a growing trend in accumulated cases, confirming the internalization of the disease.
