Abstract

In early the 2020, the world faced a pandemic caused by Covid-19, which created crises in the health systems and economy of all nations. In Latin America, 1,246,190 cases and 65,228 deaths were recorded during the first four months of that year. Therefore, this study analyzed the data from report 101 of the World Health Organization, with the intention of identifying the countries in Latin America most affected by this crisis. With the use of the Pareto diagram tool, it could be shown that, the sum of positive cases in the countries of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico represent approximately 80% of the total report of contagions in Latin America, the number of most alarming cases was recorded in Brazil with more than 70000 and the number of contagions does not exceed 0.1% of the total population of each government, with the exception of Ecuador, which surpassed it. However, this virus was not fatal in the first quarter of 2020 in Latin American countries
