This article aims at highlighting the relevance of the use of GIS and spatial analysis to grasp the spatiotemporal dynamics of COVID-19 in urban settings. It provides on how the development of non-institutional cartographies in Brazil has contributed to a better understanding of the coronavirus outbreak ata local level. The discussion emphasizes the importance of identifying vulnerable populations in order to implement local strategies to effectively combat the pandemic. We demonstrate how the experience of developing an interactive platform to map COVID-19 cases in Belo Horizonte has contributed to filling some gaps left by the municipal administration, providing a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of the outbreak.
