Social factors are associated with disparities in epidemiological and operational indicators of COVID-19 surveillance in a region of the Brazilian Amazon
Differences were observed between health mesoregions in both epidemiological and operational indicators. The most affected mesoregions were the Lower Amazon, Southwest Pará, and Southeast Pará, which have high social vulnerability and are farther from the metropolitan area of Belém, where health services with better hospital and laboratory structures are concentrated.
