Abstract

The text proposal aims to apprehend some experiences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus propagation in Ceará state from its urban network. The starting point is the notion that circulation and velocity are important vectors for the Covid-19 dissemination in the territory, where the flows of people and objects with different frequencies maintain relations among cities with many sizes and functions. Information related to the virus diffusion in the urban system is interpreted using data collected by the Ministry of Health (IntegraSUS) and the Health Department of Ceara State. By reading the spatial discontinuities and indicating an observation plan that skips scales and articulates points aligned according to their spatial interactions, the urban network approach contributes greatly to the vision that captures density, connectivity and circulation, which are the factors presented as responsible for the spread of the disease.

Keywords: Covid-19, Urban Network, Ceara.
