Wow, I didn’t expect to collect over 100 policy trackers and data sources related to #COVID19 when I started this thread in March. Many thanks to all contributors who suggested sources, which made it possible to establish this public repository!
Three weeks ago, I’ve moved the whole collection to a dedicated website - the Tracker of Trackers - for a more structured overview by topic areas. I will continue to update both, this thread and the website. Please keep the suggestions coming.
