To evaluate the social isolation index and the speed of new cases of Covid-19 in Brazil.
Quantitative ecological, documentary, descriptive study using secondary data, comparing the period from March 14 to May 1, 2020, carried out with the 27 Brazilian federative units, characterizing the study population. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences-SPSS® software, evaluating the correlation between the social isolation index and the number of new cases of Covid-19, using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
The increase in Covid-19 cases is exponential. There was a significant, negative correlation regarding the social isolation index and the speed of the number of new cases by Pearson's coefficient, which means that as the first one increases, the second one decreases.
Social isolation measures have significant effects on the rate of coronavirus infection in the population.
评估巴西的社会隔离指数和新冠病毒新增病例速度。
采用二次数据进行定量生态、文献和描述性研究，比较了 2020 年 3 月 14 日至 5 月 1 日期间巴西 27 个联邦单位的情况，对研究人群进行了特征描述。使用 SPSS®软件进行描述性统计分析，通过皮尔逊相关系数评估社会隔离指数与新冠病毒新增病例数量之间的相关性。
新冠病毒病例呈指数级增长。社会隔离指数与新增病例速度之间存在显著的负相关关系，这意味着随着前者的增加，后者减少。
社会隔离措施对人群中冠状病毒感染率有显著影响。
