Resumo

La pandemia de coronavirus está causando un gran impacto en todo el mundo. Su magnitud real presenta diferencias regionales muy importantes, que son apreciables en el número de infectados y víctimas en los diferentes países. El estallido de la pandemia y el desconocimiento del virus hacen que, aún hoy, existan muchas incógnitas sobre aspectos esenciales relacionados con el mismo. En este sentido, el conocimiento geográfico puede ayudar a responder muchas preguntas a partir del análisis territorial de los datos. El objetivo de este artículo será analizar el comportamiento de la pandemia de coronavirus dentro de la región española de Galicia. Los autores de este estudio proponen un análisis multiescala que permite descifrar los patrones de propagación más comunes. Para ello, contamos con datos de alta resolución espacial que han sido facilitados por la autoridad competente bajo confidencialidad. Los resultados de este trabajo permiten representar e interpretar el impacto territorial de la pandemia, entendiendo en la medida de lo posible su comportamiento, permitiendo predecir dinámicas futuras.

This paper was possible because from the Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN) of the Xunta de Galicia, an urgent public competitive call was offered during the month of March 2020, to the entire scientific community (public and private) to propose solutions for "fight? against COVID-19. The project "The risk mapping of COVID-19 in urban and rural areas of Galicia" was selected, which aimed to carry out a series of territorial analysis reports of the pandemic and give them to SERGAS. This project is the basis of this article. Therefore, these data were transmitted to us after the signing of a confidentiality commitment.
