FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine. The method characterised by the fact that a chosen territory map is covered with regular-hexagon cells equal in area; the epidemiologically significant findings are aggregated on the base by spatial addition; the findings are recorded in an attributive cell table and processed, so secondary parameters are derived, including: the number of patients, total length of an epidemic period, population, rate of growth of the number of patients; thereafter, the cells having related values are clustered; a degree of epidemic risk - maximum, moderate and low - is calculated for each cluster; that is followed by building an epidemic risk map and zoning the territory by combining the clusters; the high epidemic risk clusters include the cells having the maximum values, and the moderate and low risk clusters include those with the medium and minimum values.
EFFECT: increasing the epidemiological zoning accuracy.
