This organization has adapted to the evolution of the situation. In this global health crisis, our task is to establish the most appropriate surveillance system, develop information and prevention tools for health professionals, the population and the most vulnerable populations, and revitalize the health stockpile to meet the needs of health professionals throughout the region. Since our actions are primarily at the service of the population and our desire is to provide continuous and transparent information, the indicators produced to monitor the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic are accessible via the Geodes Cartographic Observatory and are published weekly in the national and regional epidemiological points available on the site. Scientific productions, documentary monitoring and knowledge, results of surveys of the population and health professionals, information tools (posters, video and audio spots), resources for professionals.
