Resumen
Un nuevo brote de coronavirus surgió el pasado 31 de diciembre de 2019 en Wuhan, China, causando conmoción entre la comunidad médica y el resto del mundo. Este nuevo coronavirus fue denominado SARS-CoV-2, responsable de la enfermedad COVID-19, causante de un gran número de casos y fallecimientos en todo el mundo, convirtiéndose en una emergencia de salud pública a nivel mundial. SARS-CoV-2 es un virus con alta homología con otros coronavirus patogénicos, como los originados por zoonosis con murciélagos (SARS-CoV). SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 ha causado más de 1.41 millones de fallecimientos a nivel mundial y en Colombia van más de 36 mil fallecidos. A partir de la base de datos correspondiente al diagnóstioco de COVID-19 en el Laboratorio de Virología de la Universidad Simón Bolívar con resultado positivo para el virus SARS-CoV-2 entre el 18 de abril y el 31 de mayo del año 2020 se analizó la incidencia y distribución de estratos socioeconómica de los pacientes infectados en las 5 localidades de la ciudad de
Barranquilla. En conclusión hubo una progresión más rápida de contagios en el
suroriente y suroccidente y un estancamiento en las cifras de contagios en
localidades en los cuales inicialmente hubo mayor cantidad de reportes,
específicamente la localidad de Riomar. Así mismo, se observo una mayor
incidencia en los estratos 1, 2 y 3.
A new coronavirus outbreak emerged on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China, causing commotion between the medical community and the rest of the world. This new strain of coronavirus was referred to as SARS-CoV-2, causing a large number of cases and deaths worldwide, becoming a global public health emergency. SARSCoV- 2 is a virus with high homology with other pathogenic coronaviruses, such as those caused by zoonoses with bats (SARS-CoV). SARS-CoV-2 has caused more than 1.41 million deaths worldwide and in Colombia there have been more than 36 thousand deaths. From the database created at Simón Bolívar University with the result of positive tests for the SARS-CoV-2 between april 18th and May 31st, 2020. We analized the incidence and distribution of infected patients in the 5 localities of the city of Barranquilla. It was concluded that there was a faster progression of contagions in the south-east and south-west, in turn a stagnation in the contagion figures in localities where initially there were more reports, specifically the locality of Riomar. We also observed the highest incidence among Stratified 1,2, and 3 classes.
