Abstract
The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) is a novel type of human-to-human transmission, first reported in late December 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan and has confirmed more than 597 million cases by August 18, 2022. The dangerous worldwide virus has spread from the epicenter to remote parts of the world. The relationship between the vulnerability of sub-districts in Palembang city to COVID-19 transmission is unknown. The research method is ecology with spatial analysis. Temporal analysis of pandemic risk related to regional vulnerability and response capacity to hazards, using the ArcGIS software. Secondary data were obtained from the Palembang City Health Department and Statistics Office Bureau. The most vulnerable sub-districts are Ilir Timur II, Seberang Ulu I, and Ulu II, while the least adaptive sub-districts are Ilir Barat I, Seberang Ulu I, and Sematang Borang, and the most vulnerable sub-districts are Ilir Barat 1 and Seberang Ulu 1. Real-time tracking reports are recommended, and measures should be taken to reduce the vulnerability in the sub-districts that are still high. Anticipating silent transmission through faster laboratory test results and large-scale tracking can help central and local authorities act quickly and accurately to reduce transmission rates.
