Expeditious delivery of COVID-19 test results

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 national myHealth portal was reconfigured to allow quick delivery of COVID-19 test results. In addition, results are being delivered to tested people through an SMS gateway and via email.
