Public Advisory: Provincial Government Launches Online COVID-19 Data Hub

  • Fisheries and Land Resources

April 3, 2020

The Provincial Government has launched an online resource to provide accurate and timely information and data about the coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 Data Hub uses a geographical information system (GIS) to map daily COVID-19 information updates across our province.

The hub includes:

  • An interactive web map of the distribution of COVID-19 cases across Newfoundland and Labrador’s regional health authorities;
  • Graphs indicating the spread of the virus; and,
  • Data on the number of cases, hospitalizations, recoveries and tests completed as announced by the Chief Medical Officer of Health.

The COVID-19 Data Hub is a partnership between the GIS and Mapping Division of Fisheries and Land Resources, the Newfoundland and Labrador Statistics Agency, and Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information. The GIS and Mapping Division manages the hub on behalf of the Provincial Government.

This resource is based on Esri Canada’s Canada-wide GIS Hub.
