The COVID War Room, launched in 2020 by the Câmara Municipal de Cascais, supported cities and governments in managing pandemic challenges by providing real-time information for urgent decision-making. It centralized citizen requests, monitored COVID-19 cases, streamlined testing processes, and managed resource allocation. This initiative enhanced public confidence, facilitated the return of economic activities, and improved safety perceptions for tourism. By consolidating data, it enabled efficient decision-making and coordination of municipal services, ensuring effective support for residents and tourists.

COVID War Room was designed to support cities and governments grappling with the challenges posed by the pandemic. It was rapidly implemented to provide decision-makers with control over the municipality's situation and access to real-time information essential for making urgent responses.
It aimed at:
• Integrating the pandemic response by centralising requests and occurrences by citizens on services
• Monitoring COVID-19 suspicious cases using real-time monitoring and reporting of case developments
• Managing COVID-19 testing scheduling and results by consolidating tests scheduling and results in a single place
• Monitoring resources availability by supervising assets and equipment capacity and resources allocation
