Result description
COVID-19 Portal is a service where users may find related, comprehensive and scientific information through one portal. It harmonises and brings together different repositories and providers for different data types (open/public and sensitive data).
Problem addressed
Provision of comprehensive open data (on infectious agents and related diseases during outbreaks) supports evidence-based decision-making across scientific, medical, public health and policy domains and promotes reproducibility of research outcomes.
Providers and repositories can be found and (if possible) accessed, while considering the challenge of dealing with sensitive data. The Portal is forming part of the pandemic preparedness toolkit to address future pathogen outbreaks.
