Problem

Departing from the Covid-19 pandemic and the need for accurate and up-to-date information, the Semarang City Government initiated to build an integrated data and information platform related to Covid-19 namely Website Siaga Corona. This effort is done to improve the accountability of data and information related to handling pandemics in Semarang. The website provides important information such as disinfectant spraying schedule, Hospital Beds availability, availability of medical devices, social assistance information, vaccine information, and updates of information related to Covid-19 accessible for Semarang residents. The platform aims to enable residents to be proactive in checking and accessing the Siaga Corona channel to know the development of prevention and handling of the Covid-19 both by the Semarang City Government and independently.
