Innovative response
In March 2019, the government of Pacitan District, East Java Province, Indonesia, prepared a dashboard to monitor the spread of COVID-19 in the district.The Dashboard displays an updated status of the spread of the virus in the district, including data on people at risk of becoming infected, infected people in medical care, and visitors from outside the district The data is collected daily by village neighbourhood groups (RT/RW) and reported to an Emergency Team at the district level.
This dashboard provides important up-to-date information to all stakeholders, both government (regent, all government offices, village apparatus) and non-government (community, university, media). It is the main reference for raising the community’s awareness on the need for action and the base for decision making for policy makers at all levels.
