This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of various policies and restrictions implemented by different countries to control the spread of the virus. MethodsTo achieve this objective, a compartmental model is used to quantify the “social permeability” of a population, which reflects the inability of individuals to remain in confinement and continue social mixing allowing the spread of the virus. The model is calibrated to fit and recreate the dynamics of the epidemic spreading of 42 countries, mainly taking into account reported deaths and mobility across the populations. ResultsThe results indicate that low-income countries have a harder time slowing the advance of the pandemic, even if the virus did not initially propagate as fast as in wealthier countries, showing the disparities between countries in their ability to mitigate the spread of the disease and its impact on vulnerable populations. DiscussionThis research contributes to a better understanding of the socioeconomic and environmental factors that affect the spread of the virus and the need for equitable policy measures to address the disparities in the global response to the pandemic. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/E36-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-113582GB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.0 2023 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 115 / 408 = 0.282 2023 Q2 T1 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 115 / 408 = 0.282 2023 Q2 T1 0.895 2023 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2023 Q1 4.8 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Lería, Unai Soriano-Paños, David (orcid)0000-0002-6388-4056 Gómez-Gardeñes, Jesús Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5204-1937 2003 395 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
