Self-health check app | 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.

This self-health check app enables everyone entering Korea to report their health status to the Korean health authorities via their smartphones. This allows the health authorities to manage the health of inbound travellers and ensure prompt and effective control of imported cases of COVID-19.
