Какое воздействие COVID-19 оказывает на уровень гендерного насилия?
Опыт предыдущих вспышек инфекционных заболеваний указывает на то, что новые риски
для защиты детей могут возникать как в результате прямого воздействия COVID-19, так ...и
в результате мер по предотвращению и контролю его распространения. Кроме того, существующие риски для защиты детей, вероятно, будут усугублены. Некоторые группы людей более уязвимы в этих обстоятельствах, в том числе, как указано в данной Технической записке, дети, лишенные свободы, у которых зачастую возникают риски с вопросами психосоциального, физического и психического здоровья, которые живут в людных или негигиеничных условиях и больше подвержены жестокому обращению, насилию и халатному отношению.

Дети имеют право на образование. Там, где школы не открываются вновь, все дети должны
иметь доступ к обучению альтернативными способами. По мере развития пандемии C...OVID-19
страны начинают ослаблять ограничения, и ЮНИСЕФ призвал открыть школы снова. Когда
школы снова откроются, нам необходимо рассмотреть не только меры по обеспечению
безопасности учащихся в помещении школы, но и по дороге в школу. Эти меры не только
могут помочь обеспечить безопасность учащихся во время пандемии коронавируса
(COVID-19), но и может также помочь в решении других проблем безопасности, таких как
дорожно-транспортные происшествия, которые являются убийцами номер один среди
молодых людей в возрасте 5-29 лет.

WHO published guidance for clinicians and health care decision-makers on the use of corticosteroids in patients with COVID-19.
We recommend systemic corticosteroids for the treatment of patients with severe and critical COVID-19. We suggest not to use corticosteroids in the treatment of patients ...with non-severe COVID-19 as the treatment brought no benefits, and could even prove harmful. Treatment should be under supervision of a clinician.
Corticosteroids are listed in the WHO model list of essential medicines, readily available globally at a low cost. WHO encourages countries to maintain sufficient stocks of corticosteroids to treat COVID-19 and the other disease for which they are effective, while not maintaining excessive stocks which could deny other countries access.
