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.

Online solution for businesses and employers to submit applications for financial support provided by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic. This digital solution is a part of broader government support program “AntiVirus”. The program focuses on partial compensation of total wage costs for employees facing work-related obstacles due to the quarantine and/or emergency measures. The submission of applications is fully digitized and contactless. The chatbot technology is implemented on the website to provide necessary information and guidance. The user-friendliness of the solution makes it easy to apply and receive the support as soon as possible. The negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic on national economy is partially mitigated by the program, which is intended for all employers whose wages are not covered by public budgets.
