COVID-19: CALCULATE THE RISK

October 1, 2 and 3
2021

Social Aspects
That can contribute to increase contagion
The social aspects refer mainly to people’s attitudes to health recommendations. There are numerous reports in the national and international media that attribute the increase in infections to the lack of respect for social distancing and the use of the mask.
In addition, other aspects are taken into account such as the Culture of Legality Index, which combines variables that give elements to know if the respondents declare having respect, knowledge and compliance with laws and civic practices.
In conclusion, those living in the most vulnerable communes are more likely to be infected, as many are not properly informed about the risks of COVID-19, so they take it lightly and this happens often because of the lack of resources to obtain information or because of the ideas inculcated in their region.
