The University of Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government has expanded its pioneering research on tracking governments' policy responses to the COVID-19 outbreak to include measures such as income support to citizens, testing regime or emergency investments into healthcare.

The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker - launched last March and now counting data from more than 160 countries (including China, South Korea, Italy, UK and USA) - systematically records government responses to the virus worldwide on 17 indicators, such as school closures and travel restrictions.
