This Tuesday, the Public Space study center published a new report on the COVID-19 pandemic, where they show their concern about the situation of the virus in regions.
In particular, they are concerned about the “evolution during the last six weeks, of the number of infections in the six regions where they have been growing rapidly in recent weeks: Magallanes, Ñuble, Maule, Araucanía, Los Ríos and Aysén”.
The first figure considers the three regions with high levels of contagion (greater than 10 per 100,000 inhabitants, red in the iCOVID-Chile signage), the second the regions under this threshold. The two graphs present the daily average of infections for the last seven days. In both, it is normalized (that is, it is divided by a constant) so that the series start from a base 100, which does not alter growth rates.
“The case of Magallanes is the most dramatic (with a moving average of 74 new daily cases per 100,000 inhabitants during the week ending today) for which it is clearly seen that daily infections have multiplied more than five times in recent weeks. In Ñuble (moving average of 13 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants today), cases have practically tripled in the last six weeks and in Maule (moving average of 13 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants today) they have grown by approximately 65 percent. The evolution of infections in the last two regions suggests that the measures taken to contain the epidemic have not yet had an effect, “the report indicates.
“Figure 0b also shows very high growth rates, with the three regions passing the threshold of infections per 100,000 inhabitants in 10 last week (orange signage according to iCOVID-Chile). The virus is spreading at very high speeds in the three regions : infections grew more than 60% in Araucanía during the last week, more than double in Los Ríos and almost five times in Aysén (each region with a moving average of 8, 7 and 5 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants today , respectively) “, end.
