The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 disease per 10 thousand inhabitants was above the national value in 53 municipalities. In the Norte region, 36 municipalities registered a value above the national average, and a set of contiguous municipalities in the Metropolitan Area of Porto stood out, with more than 50 confirmed cases per 10 thousand inhabitants: Valongo, Matosinhos, Maia, Gondomar, Porto, Santo Tirso, and Vila Nova de Gaia. Despite this differentiation, the estimated location coefficient for March 25 th and May 20 th suggests progressive spatial dissemination throughout the country.
