Brazil is a country of continental dimensions that presents regional social inequalities with millions of people living in highly dense communities, with precarious housing conditions and poor sanitation. 5 In this ecological study, we investigated the association between social inequality and COVID-19 fatality rate in Aracaju municipality, Sergipe state, Northeast Brazil. Data on COVID-19 and population data were obtained from information systems and they were used to calculate the rates of incidence and case fatality due to COVID-19 for each neighbourhood of Aracaju. Although the highest incidence rates were recorded in the neighbourhoods with better living conditions (P < 0.001), there was an increasing trend in the mortality rate in neighbourhoods with higher social inequality (P < 0.001). 10 In Aracaju, COVID-19 pandemic has exposed historical inequalities and poor communities have shown limited testing resources and higher fatality rates from COVID-19 compared with communities with better living conditions.	./cache/cord-296314-hprl52va.txt	./txt/cord-296314-hprl52va.txt
