New COVID-19 maps were launched on August 4 to provide more detailed information on the location of cases across Saskatchewan.Ìý
One map has 13 regions with comprehensive statistical information for COVID-19 activity in that region.Ìý
It should be noted that the 13 new regions do not have the same geographic boundaries as the previous six regions.
The second map is broken down into 32 smaller zones and will provide new positive and current active COVID-19 case numbers in smaller zones.Ìý
The current online dashboard will remain based on the previous six larger regions, while work is underway to incorporate the new geographic information over the next few weeks.
