    Esta investigación propone utilizar análisis exploratorio de datos espaciales como herramienta complementaria en la definición de territorios prioritarios para atención gubernamental durante la contingencia originada por el covid-19. El análisis se realiza para todos los municipios de México utilizando datos del censo 2020 y datos abiertos de epidemiología, hasta febrero de 2021. El estudio identifica agrupaciones de municipios que muestran una mayor incidencia de contagios desde que inició la pandemia, así como en la última semana. Los espacios de mayor interés se ubican en el centro del país y es ahí donde se propone realizar los mayores esfuerzos de contención

    The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the death of millions of people in the world.

    Mexico is one of the countries with the most deaths. The impact has been not only health but also economic and social. The Mexican government’s strategy has been based on one epidemiological traffic light per state. However, some states in the country are very large territories and have municipalities that are not close to each other. On the other hand, there are regions that belong to different states and do have proximity. In this way, it may be convenient to complement the health strategy taking into account municipal data, and not only state data. The present study proposes to use Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) as a complementary tool in the definition of priority territories for attention to public policy in Mexico, regarding covid-19 crisis. The ESDA offers the possibility of initially identifying hot spots, that is, points where the variables of interest have the highest values and where an action by an external agent, in this case a health program, can have the greatest impact.
