COVID-19 Government and Policy Resources
Governmental guidelines and laws regarding COVID19.
The International Monetary Fund, an organisation of 189 countries working to foster global monetary cooperation, has created a COVID-19 policy tracker. This tracker summarizes the key economic responses governments are taking to limit the human and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our World in Data provides interactive visualizations of information for several different common policy responses that governments have taken to respond to the pandemic on 17 indicators such as school closures and travel restrictions. It is based on information collected by the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, database created by the University of Oxford Blavatnik School of Government in the U.K.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development is an international organisation that works to build better policies globally. Part of their site is dedicated to policies and analysis of those policies for African economies.
