Departing from previous approaches and taking into account the type of data available for the Catalan case, we use global (i.e. Moran's I) and local spatial autocorrelation (LISA) measures, because they allow to identify both general clustering processes as well as local agglomerations in terms of the disease. We have calculated Moran's I on a weekly basis (see Supplementary Table S3 ) and results show that there is no global spatial autocorrelation for the positive cases at local level (no matter if these are measured in absolute terms or relative to local population), except from end June due to the outbreak in Lleida. ./cache/cord-265890-quacalt5.txt ./txt/cord-265890-quacalt5.txt
