Descripción de la Pandemia por COVID-19 en las Parroquias Samborondón, Daule y Durán

In Ecuador, the highest number of daily infections due to SARS-CoV-2 occurred in Guayaquil between April 4th and May 3th. The objective of this study is to perform a descriptive analysis of the quantitative PCR tests in real-time in Samborondon, Daule, and Duran during the months of April to August in the UEESBiolab laboratory. The results according to gender indicated that men register a greater number of positive cases compared to the female gender. People with an age within the Economically Active Population (EAP) were the ones who attended the test the most and who were positive in 13.9%. Additionally, for positive results, it was found that there is no statistically significant difference between groups for variables gender, age, canton, and parish. Finally, an increase in positive patients is observed in rural areas during this first wave of infection, with the rural population of Samborondon with the highest number of infections.
