COVID-19 Management – Policy Structures per Country

Members of the iCARE team reached out to the pool of iCARE collaborators in 40 different countries to identify the source of authority for sector-specific policies relating to COVID-19 in their country. Definitions used in different countries to identify COVID-19 cases, deaths, and contacts (for contact tracing) were also collected and are available upon request.

iCARE collaborators are encouraged to review the information pertaining to their country and submit modifications as needed using the link found above each data table.

To request other data, or if you have questions about the iCARE study, please contact the iCARE team.
