Social-oriented, evidence-based Covid-19 prevention using GIS

Olaf C Jensen*

Some provinces in Panama with low Covid-19 infection rates are now being released for quarantine. The question is whether part of the cities can also be released gradually using scientific, epidemiological calculations of the area-specific risk of infection, disease and death [1,2]. Covid-19 can be characterized as a natural experiment caused by forces beyond the control of scientists [3]. As with all diseases, Covid-19 has a socially unequal effect and prevention must be tailored specifically accordingly [4-6]. The socially skewed distribution of those who attend the health centres affects the validity of the official data from the Ministry of Health.
