A Guide to WHO’s Guidance on COVID-19

Since January 2020, WHO has published more than 100 documents about COVID-19. Of these, more than half are detailed technical guidance, on how to find and test cases, how to provide safe and appropriate care for people depending on the severity of their illness, how to trace and quarantine contacts, how to prevent transmission from one person to another, how to protect health care workers, and how to help communities to respond appropriately.

This page offers a summary of some of the documents WHO has developed for COVID-19 and how they can be used.

Stop COVID-19 Infographics

June 1, 2020/in Infographics, Social Media Slum and Rural Health Initiative Global, Nigeria Afaan Oromoo, Arabic, Bura Pabir, Èdè Yorùbá, English, Español, Français, Fulfulde, Hausa, Igbo, Italiano, Kànùrí, Kinyarwanda, Kiswahili, Mandara, Multiple, Pidgin Handwashing, Masks, Prevention, Social/Physical Distancing Communities, General Public/by wpengine

I am incredibly proud to share that we (SRHIN) have produced the #stopcovid19 Infographics in over 80 local languages (esp from Africa) to ensure that people have the right health information about preventing #covid19. The infographics can be publicly accessed at www.tinyurl.com/stopcovid.

It is sad that some people especially in the local communities & slums in Africa still believe that COVID-19 or “Coro Coro” like it’s popularly called is a ‘foreign’ or a ‘rich’ persons disease that cannot affect them. There have been reported cases of Chloroquine abuse among young people & even some African parents were reported to give their children hand sanitiser to drink after coughing to ‘prevent’ them from having the novel coronavirus.

Hence, it is important that evidence-based messages (from World Health Organization & other reliable sources) are tailor-made in their local languages to reach and empower them.

With our over 80 infographics designs we can empower so many communities in Africa and beyond & give them hope that we will beat the novel coronavirus.

Considerations and Principles for Shielding People at High Risk of Severe Outcomes from COVID-19

May 21, 2020/in Technical Briefs Social Science in Humanitarian Action Global Arabic, English, Español, Français, Mandarin Chinese (中文), Português, Pyccкий Prevention, Vulnerable Populations Policy Makers, Response Organizations/by Shane Harper

This brief considers the rationale for shielding individuals at high risk of severe disease or death from COVID-19 in low and middle-income countries.

It provides an overview of proposed approaches to shielding, discusses the categories of individuals who may be identified for shielding, and outlines the likely difficulties of these measures and ways to mitigate them. It is noted that the authors are not aware of any precedent for targeted shielding of specific groups in low- and middle-income countries during this or any other outbreak. As such, shielding as an approach is untested.

The authors attempt to provide considerations regarding the feasibility and challenges of this approach, particularly in low- and middle-income settings. Decisions on shielding, they write, will need to pay particular attention to the local socio-economic context, be made in collaboration with local actors, and be continually adapted in light of emerging evidence about the approach’s effectiveness, the characteristics of the COVID-19 and the trajectories of the outbreaks.
