Government’s smart quarantine system to be converted into humanitarian database

The information system responsible for running the Czech Republic’s “smart quarantine” database, used to track infections during the coronavirus pandemic, will be transformed into a humanitarian database to better support the registration of refugees fleeing Ukraine, daily Hodpodářské noviny reported on Thursday.

The system overhaul is set to cost CZK 145 million. Newly, the public will be able to publish offers of help to refugees on the system. Aside from regional assistance centres, government ministries, firefighters and the police will have access into the database.
