  With the emergence of a new pandemic worldwide, a novel strategy to approach
it has emerged. Several initiatives under the umbrella of "open science" are
contributing to tackle this unprecedented situation. In particular, the "R
Language and Environment for Statistical Computing" offers an excellent tool
and ecosystem for approaches focusing on open science and reproducible results.
Hence it is not surprising that with the onset of the pandemic, a large number
of R packages and resources were made available for researches working in the
pandemic. In this paper, we present an R package that allows users to access
and analyze worldwide data from resources publicly available. We will introduce
the covid19.analytics package, focusing in its capabilities and presenting a
particular study case where we describe how to deploy the "COVID19.ANALYTICS
Dashboard Explorer".
