UPDATED: A Resource Guide to Coronavirus for Government Leaders

by Dustin Haisler Published: March 18, 2020 Source: Government Technology

The novel coronavirus has tested the durability of federal, state and local governments around the country and the world. This list of resources is meant to connect leaders with useful tools to aid in response efforts.

As COVID-19 continues to spread across the country, I’ve curated some resources from around the Web for my state and local government network. I will do my best to keep this up to date over the coming days and weeks, and please email me if you have other resources I should add or best practices I should share.

You can track the spread of coronavirus through this interactive dashboard from John Hopkins and Esri, FAO, and NOAA.
