This paper studies the strategy deployed by the State to defining territories, classifying people, and producing control devices during the covid-19 pandemic lived in the city of Cali in 2020. The symbolic resources that the local State used in this period as strategy of control, based on moral judgments and the rhetoric of fear, led to the labelling of socially excluded localities as disobedient, undisciplined and with scarce comprehension of risk, in order to explain contagion and death by covid-19. The analysis relates poverty, crime, space, and transmission of the coronavirus, which marginalizes localities already excluded in a fragmented city like Cali. Aggregate data from State agencies and news from El País and El Tiempo are used to identify definitions and state interventions over control spaces and populations. We also used tables and maps to represent the delimitation of the reality of the State. It is concluded that symbolic production aimed at containing contagion and mortality and restrictive interventions are legitimized with statistics disseminated by the media.
