Monitoring Global Government Actions Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
The CoronaNet Research Project, a global initiative dedicated to tracking and analysing the impact of COVID-19 policies worldwide, has released a comprehensive dataset of over 15,000 policy measures. This vast collection of data covers more than 190 countries and spans from January 1, 2020, to the present day.
The dataset provides detailed information on a variety of policies, including travel bans and mask-wearing mandates. Each policy entry includes specifics such as what the policy is, when it was implemented, the country that enacted it, and the geographical regions the policy affects.
Moreover, the dataset sheds light on the nature of these policies. It indicates whether they are mandatory, mandatory with penalties, or voluntary. This information offers valuable insights into the response strategies adopted by different countries in the face of the pandemic.
The CoronaNet dataset is accessible on the official CoronaNet Research Project website and through their associated academic repositories. This wealth of information serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and the general public seeking to understand the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this extensive dataset, the CoronaNet Research Project continues to contribute significantly to the ongoing global effort to combat the pandemic and mitigate its impact on communities worldwide.
