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.

In 18MAR20, the government launched EstamosON (website and app) as the single point of contact for relevant information on the prevention and containment measures of COVID-19. It's directed to citizens, families and companies, making available (among other contents):
