Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of access to water supply with the incidence rate of COVID-19, considering the regional sanitation blocks proposed in the concession model of sanitation services in Rio de Janeiro. An analytical and descriptive study was carried out using data of COVID-19 and sanitation from the Instituto Pereira Passos (IPP) and Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), respectively. The average incidence rate of COVID-19 in Rio de Janeiro was 344.36 cases/10,000 inhabitants. Block 1 presented the highest incidence rate (493.81 cases/10,000 inhab.), followed by Block 2 (402.74 cases/10,000 inhab.), Block 4 (303.82 cases/10,000 inhab.) and Block 3 (280.03 cases/10,000 inhab.). The Pearson correlation coefficient between the incidence of COVID-19 and the water supply index in Rio de Janeiro was -0.0482. Neighborhoods with less access to treated water showed greater vulnerable, possibly due to the lower possibility of adherence to non-pharmacological measures - the only control and prevention resource in the pre-vaccination era. This finding reaffirms the syndemic and unequal character of the COVID-19 pandemic.
