Abstract

The objective of this research work was to analyze the health and poverty indicators that influence the increase in infections by the type 2 coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) through two predictive models. An analysis was carried out in 2409 municipalities of Mexico in two periods of time. For period two (July 13, 2021) the variables "Pneumonia", "Asthma", "Other complication", "Obesity" and "Other case" influenced the spread of covid-19 in 0.4024, 0.5229, 2.4246, 1.0053 and 1.4788, respectively. Similarly, the lack of income, housing and food were social variables that influenced the number of infections, due to the fact that a "healthy distance" could not be maintained. It concludes with the demand that the Government apply greater measures of both health and social awareness to the contagion of covid-19, as well as social programs in places where there are vulnerable people due to income, people with a lack of quality and housing spaces. and people with lack of access to food.
