Анализ волн распространения Covid-19 в России

The study focuses on the spatial autocorrelation of the number of infections and deaths from COVID-19 per capita across Russian regions from the beginning of the epidemic to November 10, 2022. The analysis showed a wave-like change in the regional spatial dependence in terms of the number of infections. The significance of spatial links decreases during the period of severe restrictions' introduction. Spatial autocorrelation of covid mortality is not significant. Regional variance on mortality in recent months has been increasing in contrast to the variance of regions on infection rates. The calculation made it possible to substantiate regional fragmentation in terms of mortality which determines the relevance of a deeper study of the healthcare systems' quality in the regions.
