Assessing the spread of COVID-19 in Brazil: Mobility, morbidity and social vulnerability 2020-09-18 .txt text/plain 3517 201 52 Probabilistic models were used to calculate the probability of COVID-19 spread from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, the initial hotspots, using mobility data from the pre-epidemic period, while multivariate cluster analysis of socio-economic indices was done to identify areas with similar social vulnerability. To identify regions with high geographical and social vulnerability, we proposed a classification scheme based on three main criteria: population mobility, socio-demographic-economic characteristics, and the available health care infrastructure in terms of hospital capacity. To assess the probability of COVID-19 spreading within Brazil, in the absence of mobility restrictions, we first calculated the effective distance (E f (i,j)) between micro-regions using the air travel data. We computed the effective distance, E f (i,j), between each micro-region and the two COVID-19's hotspots, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Mostly urban micro-regions, with above-average life expectancy, with comparatively less social inequality, less population living in extreme poverty, better access to water supply and sewage disposal services, higher education. ./cache/cord-307540-dr5m9pfk.txt ./txt/cord-307540-dr5m9pfk.txt
