Self-Isolation Index
A public tool showing how active cities were during lockdown.
A city, at a glance
During the 2020 lockdown, Yandex’s Self-Isolation Index translated city activity into a simple public indicator. It gave people a shared way to understand how much their city was staying at home.


Data people could understand
The product turned city activity into an accessible public signal. Instead of asking people to interpret a complex dataset, it offered a clear view of how their city was responding to lockdown. The interface and public communication made that information easy to read and share.
The project received two Cannes Lions shortlists and recognition across three One Show categories.
