FYI

I find the second document particularly important, both in terms of measures described for the scenario of community transmissions and in terms of links to all available resources.

 

With best regards,

Silviu

Dear all,

Sharing two very important newly published documents for the COVID-19 response. The first outlines key interventions across the different scenarios; the second addresses how countries should respond to community spread. Both are attached and should be shared widely - these will help guide planning and preparedness for countries, now.

Best, Katie

 

  1. Critical preparedness, readiness and response actions: here

WHO has defined four transmission scenarios for COVID-19:

This document describes the preparedness, readiness and response actions for COVID-19 for each transmission scenario.

 

  1. Responding to community spread of COVID-19: here

This document provides technical guidance for government authorities, health workers, and other key stakeholders to guide response to community spread. It will be updated as new information or technical guidance become available. For countries that are already preparing or responding, this document can also serve as a checklist to identify any remaining gaps.
