    • Abstract:
      Classify the departments of Colombia and their capitals, according to the behavior of the incidence of Sars-Cov2, between March 6, 2020 and February 4, 2021. The information on daily cases was obtained from the website of the National Institute of Health (INS), the population estimate for each geographic unit was obtained from the population estimated by the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) for 2020. The clusters obtained for both capitals and departments were obtained by non- hierarchical classification methods. Four groups were obtained for both, capitals and departments: the coast zone, the central zone, the eastern zone and the Amazon. In most cases the classification of the capitals coincided with that of the department. The classification obtained by the k-medoid method, using the Euclidean distance, proposed groups that coincide with different epidemiological be- haviors between groups and similar ones within groups, therefore it becomes a useful statistical tool for public health.

    • Abstract:
      Clasificar los departamentos de Colombia y sus capitales, de acuerdo con el comportamiento de la incidencia de Sars-Cov2, entre el 6 de marzo de 2020 y el 4 de febrero de 2021. La información de los casos diarios se obtuvo de la página del Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS), la estimación de la población para cada unidad geográfica se obtuvo de la población estimada por el Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas (DANE) para el año 2020. Los conglomerados obtenidos tanto para las capitales como para los departamentos se obtuvieron por medio de métodos de clasificación no jerárquicos. Se obtuvieron cuatro grupos tanto para las capitales como para los departamentos: zona costera, zona central, zona oriental y amazonia. En la mayoría de los casos la clasificación de las capitales coincidió con la del departamento. La clasificación obtenida por el método k-medoides, utilizando la distancia euclidiana, propuso grupos que coinciden con comportamientos epidemiológicos diferentes entre grupos y similares dentro de los grupos, por lo que se convierte en una herramienta estadística útil para la salud pública.
