Abstract

Con el objetivo de contener el avance del Covid-19, el Real Decreto-ley 10/2020, del 29 de marzo, estableció el cese de toda actividad considerada como no esencial entre el 30 de marzo y el 9 de abril de 2020, ambos inclusive. Este documento explota información a escala municipal para cuantificar el impacto de corto plazo que ha tenido esta medida, tanto sobre el empleo como sobre la contención de la pandemia. En concreto, el peso de las actividades no esenciales en cada municipio se relaciona con la evolución de la afiliación a la Seguridad Social y con los nuevos casos de Covid-19 diagnosticados a lo largo del mes de abril. Los resultados sugieren que aquellos municipios más afectados por el cese de las actividades no esenciales habrían sufrido mayores pérdidas de empleo, pero, a la vez, habrían experimentado una propagación menos virulenta de la pandemia durante el mes de abril. Finalmente, otras características, como una población más envejecida, unas temperaturas más frías, una densidad de población más elevada o una mayor cercanía a la capital de la provincia, también se asocian a una mayor incidencia del Covid-19 a escala municipal.
