New rules govern home workers and cross-border commuters. With no end yet in sight, it is already clear that we are experiencing an extraordinary moment in the collective memory of Luxembourg.

Yes we care - Oral history with health workers in Luxembourg
While the social and economic consequences of the Covid pandemic cannot yet be determined, there is no longer any doubt that it is a 'historic event'. The C2DH has therefore embarked on a collection of different sources that are currently being produced. A team has begun to collect testimonies from people working in the medical and health care sector. The pandemic is indeed shedding light on how the hospital and care systems function.

The Covid19Impact Survey: Assessing the COVID-19 Pandemic in Luxembourg via 25 questions in a cit...
The COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in modern times and will be intensively studied world-wide for decades to come by scientists, governments and industry. Data collected during the initial period of the pandemic, particularly high-quality datasets, will be crucial understanding its development, and will impact decision making for many years to come. Therefore, unless this data is quickly collected, it will be irretrievably lost for further study. We are ready to deploy a large-scale survey to get feedback from the citizens of Luxembourg in four key areas related to the COVID-19 pandemi...
