ABSTRACT
With the whole world being affected by the pandemic, it is a matter of great importance that studies about spatial and spatio-temporal aspects of the COVID-19 (Sars-Cov-2) pandemic should be conducted, therefore the main goal of this paper is to present the Global Moran's I and the Local Moran's I used to evaluate spatial association in the number of deaths and infections by COVID-19, and a spatio-temporal Poisson scan statistic used to identify emerging or "alive" clusters of infections by Sars-Cov-2 in space and time. As of January 2021 vaccination against COVID-19 already started, since the use of spatial clustering methods to identify non-vaccinated populations is not new among studies on vaccination coverage strategies, this paper also aims to discuss the implementation of spatial and spatio-temporal clustering methods in early vaccination.
