In this article we present hygiea, an end-to-end blockchain-based solution for the Covid-19 pandemic. hygiea has two main objectives. The first is to allow governments to issue Covid-19 related certificates to citizens that can be verified by designated verifiers to ensure safer workplaces. The second is to provide the necessary tools to experts and decision makers to better understand the impact of the pandemic through statistical models built on top of the data collected by the platform. This work covers all steps of the certificate issuance, verification and revocation cycles with well-defined roles for all stakeholders. We also propose a governance model that is implemented via smart contracts ensuring security, transparency and auditability. Finally, we propose techniques for deriving statistical models that can be used by decision makers.
