RECOMENDACIONES PSICOLÓGICAS PARA EXPLICAR A NIÑOS Y NIÑAS EL BROTE DE CORONAVIRUS-COVID 19
El Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, a través de la Sección de Psicología Clínica, de la Salud y Psicoterapia, quiere transmitir una serie de pautas dirigidas a padres, profesionales y fami...liares de niños y niñas, orientadas a promover un afrontamiento adecuado frente al brote de Coronavirus-Covid 19.
Estas recomendaciones están adaptadas para niños y niñas de 4 a 10 años, ya que en edades más tempranas la idea es más abstracta y requiere de una adaptación más sencilla. A partir de los 10 años comprenden conceptos más complejos, sin necesidad de realizar adaptaciones tan concretas como en esta etapa evolutiva.
Teniendo en cuenta la incertidumbre en cuanto a la evolución del brote en España, y que día a día nos enfrentamos a una nueva situación, conviene adaptar también la información que traslademos. Por ello debemos darle la importancia que merece a la prevención de la transmisión del virus y las medidas de higiene, reduciendo también situaciones de alarma que afecten a los menores.https://www.copmadrid.org/web/comunicacion/comunicado/222/recomendaciones-psicologicas-para-explicar-a-ninos-y-ninas-el-brote-de-coronavirus-covid-19

United Nations Coordinated Appeal, April - December 2020
At the time of writing, many priority countries are working on or just issuing their revised plans for the COVID-19 response. Funding requirements have not yet been estimated for a number of countries. For this reaso...n, individual country requirements will be provided in the next update of the Global Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP).
The COVID-19 Global HRP is a joint effort by members of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), including UN, other international organizations and NGOs with a humanitarian mandate, to analyse and respond to the direct public health and indirect immediate humanitarian consequences of the pandemic, particularly on people in countries already facing other crises.

Policy considerations
for the WHO European Region
This document provides key considerations for Member States to help them to decide on the modulation
of large-scale restrictive public health measures
(i.e. movement restrictions and large-scale physical distancing), while at the... same time strengthening core public health service capacities (to identify, isolate,
test and treat every patient and quarantine contacts) together with personal protective measures (hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette) and individual physical distancing (>1 metre distance). The transition should be informed by national, subnational or even community-level risk assessments as the transmission of COVID-19 is typically not homogeneous within a country.

Many countries are taking strict measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with lockdowns, curfews, and closure of public spaces and services. As a result of stress and uncertainty caused by these strict measures, women and girls are at even greater risk of violence at a time when their access to s...ervices is further reduced. With many people’s livelihoods and incomes significantly affected, together with movement restrictions, basic hygiene and menstruation items are unlikely to be prioritised.

La crisis de refugiados y migrantes de Venezuela en la región se encuentra ante un nuevo desafío con la llegada del COVID-19. Esta población se ve particularmente afectada por las condiciones en las que se encuentran, en especial quienes están en zonas de frontera. El aut...oaislamiento, las medidas de higiene y el conseguir ingresos para el día a día representan una limitación evidente que está generando situaciones de calle, desplazamiento intra e inter fronteras, y exposición al COVID. Esta situación extrema inclusive está forzando a algunas familias a retornar a Venezuela.

The restrictions on movement imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic constitute one of the largest single global challenges that the humanitarian community has ever encountered. Maintaining continuity and quality in the delivery of e...ssential assistance and services, including protection services, in the face of these restrictions requires operations to quickly innovate, leveraging fully the rich capacities and established networks within both communities of persons of concern, as well as host communities.

Leaving no one behind in the Covid-19 Pandemic: a call for urgent global action to include migrants & refugees in the Covid-19 response
People on the move, whether they are economic migrants or forcibly displaced persons such asylum seekers, refugees, and internally displa...ced persons (hereafter called migrants & refugees), should be explicitly included in the responses to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This global public health emergency brings into focus, and may exacerbate, the barriers to healthcare these populations face. Many migrant & refugee populations live in conditions where physical distancing and recommended hygiene measures are particularly challenging. The Covid-19 pandemic reveals the extent of marginalisation migrant & refugee populations face. From an enlightened self-interest perspective, the Covid-19 disease outbreak control measures will only be successful if all populations are included in the response. It is counter- productive to exclude migrant & refugee populations from the preparedness and response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
