The infectious disease called Covid-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is one of the pandemics that humanity faces. Due to its social, economic and health consequences, Covid-19 has shown the effects of animal exploitation and human invasion to reservoir environments for unknown pathogens that resulted in a fatal disease for humans. In particular, metropolitan areas have been areas with great effects of Covid-19 due to population concentrations that lead to a greater number of infections. In this context, this article aims to carry out a comparative analysis of confirmed cases, deaths, and prevalences of diseases in Covid-19 infection for the Monterrey metropolitan area, the Guadalajara metropolitan area, and the Valle Metropolitan Area. of Mexico in two periods. The source of information used was data from the Mexican Ministry of Health and the Intercensal Survey. The methodology consisted of two stages that allowed for the comparative analysis of the three metropolitan areas. In the first stage, the analysis of bivariate tables associated with confirmed cases and deaths from Covid-19 according to sociodemographic variables was performed. In the second, the prevalences of diseases in deaths from Covid-19 were used. Finally, the results show that confirmed cases, deaths, and disease prevalences in deaths from Covid-19 are heterogeneous among the three metropolitan areas.
