The CoronaVirus Science Board | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Besides the Ministry of Health, following the emergence of the coronaVirus outbreak before the World Health Organization confirmed it in mid-March as pandemic, The CoronaVirus Science Board was established on 10 January 2020. The Board regularly holds meetings headed by the Minister of Health and gives scientific advices on measures to tackle the outbreak to the government. The Board drafted a 'Pandemic Action Plan', which is a document that is updated regularly in line with the recommendations of the Scientific Board. The Action Plan includes all necessary measures to tackle with the pandemic while mainly focusing on healthcare issues.
