The outbreak and spread of the virus are disrupting the work of public administrations, businesses, universities, and schools. Due to the widely used confinement measures and social distancing, digital technology is an essential part of crisis response. Digital Response to COVID-19 is a repository of digital solutions and initiatives that aid us in stopping the pandemic and mitigating its effects.

In the repository, you will find a large resource database including open source software, websites, and platforms that are useful for public administrations, businesses, and citizens dealing with the ongoing crisis.
