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 app uses a GPS feature and Bluetooth to track and control COVID-19 cases. It aims to: • Enhance preventive measures and to limit the spread of COVID-19 in Qatar
• Display the latest developments and official statistics related to Covid-19
• Spread awareness and official precautionary instructions
• Provide a hotline to inquire about symptoms and recommended course of action
The project is under final stages of development and expected to go live soon.
The profile of each user is linked to QR Code to automatically extract health information from official entities. Users will be categorized as follow:
* Red – for people who have tested positive for Covid-19
* Yellow – for individuals who have been placed in quarantine facilities
* Grey – suspected cases, individuals who exhibit symptoms, or who have been in contact with Covid-19-positive cases but have not been tested
* Green – healthy individuals who do not exhibit any symptoms, or who have tested negative
