March workshop set for Nairobi will be virtual

Due to rapidly evolving containment efforts and travel restrictions in response to COVID-19, READY is reconfiguring its East Africa Outbreak Preparedness Planning (OPP) workshop. The workshop will still take place from March 9–11, 2020, but it will be facilitated entirely online.

Knowing that COVID-19 readiness is top-of-mind for many of us, we are also amending the workshop content: It will focus exclusively on NGO readiness for the COVID-19 pandemic, aligned with key pillars within WHO’s COVID-19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan, including staff safety and wellness, business continuity, and risk communication and community engagement.

Participants should amend or cancel any travel arrangements they may have already made, and will find revised workshop objectives and a condensed agenda on READY’s community of practice forum.

O Centro Johns Hopkins de Ciência e Engenharia de Sistemas (CSSE) criou um rastreador público de casos de COVID-19, reunindo dados da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), Centros de Controle de Doenças (CDC) (EUA), Centro Europeu de Prevenção e Controle de Doenças (ECDC), Comissão Nacional de Saúde da República Popular da China (NHC) e NHC, e DXY.cn (chinês: 丁香园; pinyin: DīngXiāngYuán, uma comunidade online para médicos, profissionais de saúde, farmácias e unidades de saúde). Os dados por trás da visualização estão disponíveis em um Repositório GitHub, disponível ao público para download.
