Previous literature shows systematic differences in health according to socioeconomic status (SES). However, there is no clear evidence that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection might be different across SES in Portugal. This work identifies the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worst-affected municipalities at four different time points in Portugal measured by prevalence of cases, and seeks to determine if these worst-affected areas are associated with SES.
