Abstract

Since the appearance in China of the first cases, the entire world has been deeply affected by the flagellum of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. There have been many mathematical approaches trying to characterize the data collected about this serious issue. One of the most important aspects for attacking a problem is knowing what information is really available. We investigate here the information contained in the COVID-19 data of infected and deceased people in all countries, using informational quantifiers such as entropy and statistical complexity. For the evaluation of these quantities, we use the Bandt–Pompe permutation methodology, as well as the wavelet transform, to obtain the corresponding probability distributions from the available series of data. The period analyzed covers from the appearance of the disease up to the massive use of anti-COVID vaccines.
