PADRÕES ESPAÇOS-TEMPORAIS DA ROTA DO COVID19 (CORONAVIRUS) NO ESTADO DE SANTA CATARINA, BRASIL.

This article is an analysis of the time-space patterns of COVID19 in Santa Catarina, Brazil in two moments between March and April 2020. The applied methodology took into consideration the spatial configuration and typification of its municipalities from two studies by IBGE superimposing the confirmed cases of the municipalities in Santa Catarina. The number of cases and deaths was not evaluated. The results point to three distinct spatial dynamics (degree of urbanization and population concentration), with two diffusing flows from COVID19. With growing number of municipalities with confirmed cases and with different characteristics among them, the future scenario will involve planning and adequacy of the emergency response infrastructure differentiated in fighting COVID19 in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
