Correspondência espacial entre a suinocultura intensiva e a incidência de COVID-19 nos EUA, Brasil e Alemanha

The international press has reported the occurrence of contamination outbreaks by Covid-19 among meat production workers, especially pigs, in different locations in countries like the United States, Brazil and Germany. Despite the fact that the possibility of transmitting the virus, both from animal...
