Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) is an essential part of any disease outbreak response. Risk communication in the context of an Ebola outbreak refers to real time exchange of information, opinion and advice between frontline responders and people who are faced with the threat of Eb...ola to their survival, health, economic or social wellbeing. Community engagement refers to mutual partnership between Ebola response teams and individuals or communities in affected areas, whereby community stakeholders have ownership in controlling the spread of the outbreak.
It is intended to be used to guide RCCE work which is central to stopping the outbreak and preventing its further amplification. Unlike other areas of response, RCCE draws heavily on volunteers, frontline personnel and on people without prior training in this area.

Par ailleurs l’existence d’éléments épidémiologiques en faveur d’une sous-estimation du nombre réel de cas de COVID-19 et de l’existence d’une transmission communautaire soutenue dans une zone géographique pour lesquels les deux critères ci-dessus ne sont pas observés pourra être ...prise en compte dans la décision de l’inclure dans la liste des zones d’exposition à risque (par exemple : un taux de mortalité parmi les cas confirmés beaucoup plus élevé qu’attendu ; la détection de cas exportés depuis cette zone dans plusieurs pays ; une proportion importante des cas confirmés sans historique de voyage/séjour dans une zone d’exposition à risque ni contact identifié avec un cas confirmé de COVID-19).

The purpose of this work is to estimate potential COVID-19 case burdens in each African nation considering various social distancing interventions. Given current trends in case burden, the model estimates the potential resource needs that would be needed under different scenarios. The model is for p...lanning purposes and is based on current understanding and the most up-to-date assumptions. Results reported here are not forecasts but scenarios that may unfold given the assumptions about social-distancing and population health.
