In view of the discordant approaches on the relationship between COVID-19 pandemic and physical, social and economic attributes of urban areas, the proposed research contributes to the advance in the clarification of an issue that proves to be cardinal for the planning of human settlements in the future, as it was investigated the relationship between transmission, hospitalization and deaths indicators with sociodemographic, socioeconomic and urban indicators in all municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso (Brazil), from the moment the first case was confirmed in the state – 16 March 2020 – until 31 December 2021. To this aim, regression analyses were performed and local spatial patterns were examined, before which the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique was used in order to identify the most significant explanatory variables. Significant positive correlations were found between variables associated with Diffusion and variables associated with socioeconomic factors, as well as between Diffusion and Importance of the municipality and indicators related to Morbidity (Mortality and Lethality). These, on the other hand, were negatively correlated with socioeconomic and density variables (with regard to intra-domiciliary agglomeration).
