With the arrival of the pandemic in Argentina in March 2020, a working group of scientists from two institutes belonging to the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires and CONICET, together with colleagues from different academic institutions in the country, decided to put forth our experience and knowledge in data science and associated disciplines, towards helping with decision-making in the context of COVID-19. Data analysis within Argentina and other countries, scenario simulation, as well as rapid response projects- mainly in the province of Buenos Aires- were all within the scope of our aim. This review article outlines some of the activities carried out by our team throughout these pandemic months.
