December 2020 – UN-Habitat has added hundreds of new cities to its platform which monitors COVID-19 cases daily and identifies hotspots, allowing national and local leaders to plan and implement their responses.

UN-Habitat and CitiIQ developed the COVID-19 tracker for cities (https://unhabitat.citiiq.com/) with an initial set of 1,200 cities monitored on a daily basis. Tracking the impact of COVID-19 at a city level where the front-line challenges are often faced is key for the success of any national strategies.

Together with CitiIQ, UN-Habitat has added 500 new cities with daily trending to the city COVID-19 tracking platform, bringing the total coverage to 1700 cities globally. Daily city counts/scoring vary depending on data availability on any given day. The new cities cover the UK (85), Germany (48), Argentina (58), Japan (24), South Korea (4), Australia (30), South Africa (7), Canada (25), the United States (75), and Mexico (144).
