    Confinement has been part of the fight against Covid-19 all over the world, with Portugal being no exception. In order to understand whether conditions in different regions allow different measures to be taken, the Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis correlation coefficient was applied. It was demonstrated that levels of mobility are correlated with new cases of the disease, although some types of mobility, such as that related to the workplace, do not present a statistically significantrelationship with new cases. In addition, correlation levels vary between the different districts of Portugal, leaving open the possibility of measures to contain the disease being designed taking these differences into account.

    Os confinamentos têm feito parte da luta contra a Covid-19, um pouco por todo o mundo, sendo que Portugal não tem sido exceção. Para perceber se as condições em diferentes regiões poderão permitir a tomada de medidas diferenciadas, aplicou-se o coeficientede correlação da Detrended Cross-Correlation Analysis. Foi possível verificar que os níveis de mobilidade estão correlacionados com os novos casos da doença, ainda que alguns tipos de mobilidade, como a relativa aos locais de trabalho, não apresentam relação estatisticamente significativa com os novos casos da doença. Além disso, os níveis de correlação são distintos nos diferentes distritos de Portugal, deixando em aberto a possibilidade de as medidas de contenção da doença serem desenhadas tendo em contaessas diferenças
