Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is the cause of the pandemic called COVID-19, has led to many problems in the organization of the life of the world's population, especially in urban areas where the population density is high. In urban areas, there is a greater possibility of transmitting the infection due to the proximity of people and their constant circulation. Therefore, the urban areas are the ones most exposed to the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the relationships between urban population density and COVID-19 mortality rates in Serbia. Following that, the pandemic's effect on the rise in fatalities in urban and rural areas was investigated. Comparison methods, cartographic method and descriptive statistics were used. It was determined that the areas with the highest population density have a slightly higher number of deaths. However, in addition to these areas, some other areas in Serbia also have higher mortality rate, which is influenced by the large average age of the population, but also some other factors that require additional and deeper interdisciplinary research.
