Resumo: In order to understand the reasons that led certain locations to face more/less difficulties in dealing with COVID-19, the effect of some municipal characteristics, on the main statistics related to the disease, was estimated. For this purpose, cross-section data (with cases/deaths accumulated up until April 21, 2021), on the municipalities of Minas Gerais were considered, and Ordinary Least Squares, Poisson and Negative Binomial estimators were used, in addition to the Extreme Bounds Analysis technique. Small towns, with a larger number of public health clinics (known in Brazil as “basic health units”) and more young people would have fewer cases/deaths. Urban, hot, polluted locations with higher inequality, as well as greater economic activity and movement of employees, presented the greatest problems. Incidence/mortality would increase in hot cities, with greater economic activity and a history of comorbidity. However, mortality would decrease among the youngest/most educated people. Furthermore, lethality would be lower among the younger population and in sparsely populated (up to 150,000 inhabitants) and rainless cities.

Para tanto, consideraram-se dados cross-section (com casos/óbitos acumulados até 21 de abril/2021), sobre os municípios de Minas Gerais, e usaram-se os estimadores de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários, Poisson e Binominal Negativo, além da técnica Extreme Bounds Analysis. Verificou-se que cidades pequenas, com mais unidades básicas de saúde e populações mais jovens, teriam menos casos/óbitos. Alternativamente, locais quentes, poluídos, tipicamente urbanos, desiguais, com maior atividade econômica e circulação de empregados, seriam mais problemáticos. A incidência e mortalidade aumentariam em municípios quentes, com maior atividade econômica e histórico de comorbidades. Todavia, a mortalidade diminuiria entre os mais educados e jovens. Ademais, a letalidade seria menor entre os jovens e em cidades com até 150 mil habitantes e poucas chuvas.Visando compreender os motivos que levaram certas localidades a enfrentar mais/menos dificuldades no combate à COVID-19, estimou-se o efeito de determinadas características municipais sobre as principais estatísticas desta doença.
