According to the SES-GO map, there are 2 regions in a calamity situation – in the red zone -, two in critical – orange – and 14 in an alert situation – yellow.

The survey is done by region and assessed on infection and health system overburden indicators.

According to the SES-GO, the index is based on 6 indicators, 3 of which are related to the infection situation by the novel coronavirus and 3 are related to the health system overload situation (including public and private units).
