Evidence/Justification: The transmissibility index makes it possible to establish the areas with the highest concentration of risk for COVID-19, which guided the generation of a promotional and comprehensive health risk management strategy called “Special care areas”, which includes interventions to promote the health, individual and collective risk management and intersectoral actions within the framework of public health management and the PSPIC Collective Intervention Plan.
That index is not the only parameter analyzed in the city, on a daily basis the public health and epidemiology group of the District Health Department -SDS- observes the behavior of the main indicators for the city, such as the accumulated incidence rates by locality and UPZ, mortality rates, lethality,% positivity, number of cases, contacts disaggregated by the main sociodemographic variables.,% ICU occupancy and behavior of hospitalized people with mild symptoms who are quarantined at home.
From this analysis, which identifies that there is a large-scale community viral circulation that is detailed in the epidemiological context and given the economic reactivation that has been generated at the national and district level, the need to make the partial and temporary confinement measures, that is, to carry out a strict confinement by groups of localities, taking into account that a total confinement in the city is not feasible due to the current social and economic situation.
