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.

The different entities that are part of the High Level Commission for the Prevention and Control of CoronaVirus (Ministry of the Presidency, Ministry of Public Health, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Defense, among others) have joined forces to install a control center and monitoring that centralizes and integrates all the information systems involved for real-time monitoring of the spread of the pandemic, receiving a report of symptoms and offering medical assistance through Apps and a dedicated portal to informing the public on incidents, statements and recommendations, with the support of the República Digital program. The initiative has had the active participation of the national private sector, especially associations of clinics, laboratories, and administrators of health risks, among many others. Cloud computing tools, artificial intelligence and various information exchange mechanisms have been used intensively (webservices, APIs, etc.).
