Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the spatial distribution of the incidence of COVID-19 and its correlation with the municipal human development index (MHDI) of the municipalities of Ceará.Methods:
This is an ecological study with data recovered from the 15th to the 19th epidemiological week of the year 2020 using the MHDI and the COVID-19 incidence coefficient for each municipality as variables. The univariate and the bivariate spatial correlation were analyzed using the TerraView and GeoDa software.Results:
The incidence of COVID-19 has spatial dependence with moderate positive correlation and the formation of high-high clusters located in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza and municipalities in the North region. The lowest incidence was a low-low cluster in the South and West regions. There was a positive bivariate correlation between MHDI and the incidence of COVID-19 with the formation of a cluster in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza.Conclusion:
The uneven mapping of COVID-19 and its relationship with MHDI in Ceará can contribute with actions for the regional fight against the pandemic.RESUMO
Objetivo:
Analisar a distribuição espacial da incidência de Covid-19 e sua correlação com o índice de desenvolvimento humano municipal (IDHM) dos municípios do Ceará.Métodos:
Trata-se de um estudo ecológico com dados recuperados da 15ª e da 19ª semana epidemiológica do ano de 2020 utilizando como variáveis o IDHM e o coeficiente de incidência de Covid-19 para cada município. Foi analisada a correlação espacial uni e bivariada por meio dos softwares TerraView e GeoDa.Resultados:
A incidência da Covid-19 possui dependência espacial com correlação positiva moderada e formação de clusters do tipo alto-alto localizados na região metropolitana de Fortaleza e municípios da região norte. As menores incidências foram cluster tipo baixo-baixo na região sul e na região oeste. Houve correlação bivariada positiva entre IDHM e incidência de Covid-19 com formação de cluster na região metropolitana de Fortaleza.Conclusão:
O mapeamento desigual de Covid-19 e sua relação com IDHM no Ceará podem contribuir com ações de enfrentamento regional à pandemia.
