LaunchedMarch 2020 (2020-03)

The Coronavirus Tech Handbook was a website designed to crowdsource information about the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.[1][2][3] It was developed at Newspeak House, a hackerspace for politics in London, England.[4]

The site, which launched in March 2020,[1] was hosted as an interlinked collection of user-editable online documents, which made it effectively a wiki. As of October 2020 it had expanded to provide tools for consumers, businesses, local governments, and developers, amongst others, to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

Its stated aim was to provide:[6]

a space for technologists, civic organisations, public & private institutions, researchers and specialists of all kinds to collaborate on a rapid and sophisticated response to the coronavirus outbreak and subsequent impacts.
