Abstract
As countries around the world battle the
Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the importance of sharing
and using data effectively has never been more apparent.
Data collection and analysis tools for diagnostics,
detection, and prediction are of critical importance to
respond intelligently to this crisis and prevent more lives
from being lost. An effective response requires data to be
shared between institutions, across sectors, and beyond
national borders. Because data is critical to understanding,
anticipating, and responding to the crisis, new approaches
to share data are being tried, some which may have
concerning consequences for individual data protection. It
is an extraordinary moment where the use of personal data
for helping society may potentially come into conflict with
data protection norms. The aim of this report is to
highlight emerging practices and interesting features of
countries’ current approaches to establishing these
safeguards and enablers of data sharing.
