The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the city of Saragossa (Zaragoza) is assessed from a three-dimensional perspective in which the health, social and emotional scopes are taken into account.
In terms of the '''health dimension''', the neighbourhoods of Saragossa (Zaragoza) were affected unevenly. Initially, the situation was assessed using the well known approach of counting registered COVID-19 cases and the rates of active cases and recovered patients. However, on top of this, the Regional Government of Aragón added the so-called ‘frequenting rate’, i.e. the number of patients infected or suspected of being infected with COVID-19 according to the records in public healthcare centres. Given that the capacity to carry out mass PCR testing was not yet available at that time, applying this second indicator provides a more detailed profile of the health situation. The data available are registered by healthcare areas that approximately match neighbourhoods or sometimes smaller sections of the city. This allows highlighting internal differences amongst healthcare areas.
The second type of healthcare areas to register high frequenting rates were those where lower socioeconomic levels of society live, some of which were severely impacted during the first wave of the pandemic and suffer acutely from social vulnerability, such as ''San Pablo'' and ''Rebolería''.
The '''social dimension''' looks at the sociodemographic and housing context in the city. This is shown on the map depicting the percentage of households in which five or more members live in homes with under 90 m2m<sup>2</sup>. Areas in red and orange point out higher figures (a higher percentage of households with these peculiarities), and those in green unveil the opposite situation. It may be concluded that citizens in some areas of the city, such as ''Delicias Sur'', ''San Pablo'' or ''Las Fuentes Norte'', were more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection due to their low capacity for isolation within their homes and therefore due to a higher risk of infection within family relations. This indicator also suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as a more fragile work environment or one that does not enable home office, put these citizens at higher risk of infection from outside family relations.
The '''emotional dimension''' was a relevant aspect that was particularly important during the first wave of the pandemic. Saragossa City Council was sensitive to this scope and used a survey to gauge citizens’ living conditions and emotional well-being during lockdown. It was answered by over 5,000 people.
