The #COVID19 Government Measures Dataset puts together all the measures implemented by governments worldwide in response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Data collection includes secondary data review. The researched information available falls into five categories: Social distancing Movement restrictions Public health measures Social and economic measures Lockdowns Each category is broken down into several types of measures. ACAPS consulted government, media, United Nations, and other organisations sources. For any comments, please contact us at info@acaps.org Please note note that some measures together with non-compliance policies may not be recorded and the exact date of implementation may not be accurate in some cases, due to the different way of reporting of the primary data sources we used.

The objective of the dataset is to provide information that enables decision makers to better direct their efforts in addressing the wider effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset will track secondary impacts across a wide range of relevant themes: economy, health, migration, education to name a few. A set of around 80 impact indicators anticipated to be impacted by COVID-19 have been identified and organised across 4 pillars and 13 thematic blocks. Additionally, a set of around 25 pre-COVID-19 baseline indicators have been selected for each pillar. The data collection is conducted on a country-level and identifies the secondary impacts the COVID- 19 pandemic is having in more than 190 countries. Data comes from a range of available sources, including international organisations, research centres, and media analysis. Note: These are the preliminary results of the data collection on secondary impacts. This dataset is currently in the beta-testing phase, we will keep improving and updating in the coming weeks.
