LetzShop | 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.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Luxembourg government has set up the online sales platform corona.letzshop.lu, dedicated to vulnerable people with no means of obtaining supplies. This platform can also be contacted by telephone. The platform is aimed at people over 65 years of age and at people suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, cancer or immune weakness due to disease or therapy. The platform thus offers a home delivery service, including more than 40 basic necessities.
