Abstract This article examines the characteristics, the spatial and socioeconomic dimension of the COVID-19 cases during the four waves of the pandemic in the 339 municipalities of Bolivia, during these almost two years of the pandemic. This situation has clearly developed social and economic inequalities in the geographical regions of the country, mainly in the municipalities. To obtain a better understanding of this phenomenon, statistical information has been compiled for each of the four waves, both geographical and multivariable, through 16 proposed indicators. The results of this work indícate in the first place how COVID-19 has been expanding geographically, and over time it has manifested a growing intensity from the first wave to the exponential growth of the fourth wave. The dynamics in terms of quantity, although it was concentrated in those capital municipalities, that is, urban, but grouping by quintiles of the accumulated cases of COVID-19, the expansion towards municipalities considered rural and with a smaller population or far from the municipalities is noted. While the multivariate analysis of indicators reveals the relationship of the cases accumulated during the first wave of the coronavirus with factors of poverty, low coverage of basic sanitation, deficiencies in issues related to health and even low coverage of landlines or cell phones by municipality
