Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

30 Jan 2020 WHO Director General declares COVID-19 as a public health emergency of international concern. Following this declaration, Ministry of Health & Sports and WHO Myanmar convened coordination meetings with development partners, UN agencies and International/national humanitarian organizations dedicated to COVID-19 activities.

WHO updated COVID-19 case definitions on 27 Feb 2020 (https://bit.ly/2Tf9ydg). Further, WHO revised the risk assessment on 29 Feb 2020, which is now very high across all levels, China, regional, and global.  Ministry of Health & Sports, Myanmar, issued an initial flash proposal for Covid-19 activities totaling USD $5 million. The proposal includes key public health measures to prevent and contain any outbreak at an early stage, including surveillance at community level, points of entry, risk communication, nonpharmaceutical medical & laboratory supplies, awareness raising.

WHO and partners support implementation. Further, monitoring through an open-source web-based platform for partners’ inputs has been created and is functional at https://bit.ly/3748nF3. This enables realtime resource mapping and analysis.

Children’s story book released to help children and young people cope with COVID-19

My Hero is You cover

Published Date 31 March 2020

This book was a project developed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings (IASC MHPSS RG). The project was supported by global, regional and country based experts from Member Agencies of the IASC MHPSS RG, in addition to parents, caregivers, teachers and children in 104 countries. A global survey was distributed in Arabic, English, Italian, French and Spanish to assess children’s mental health and psychosocial needs during the COVID-19 outbreak. A framework of topics to be addressed through the story was developed using the survey results. The book was shared through storytelling to children in several countries affected by COVID-19. Feedback from children, parents and caregivers was then used to review and update the story.

Over 1,700 children, parents, caregivers and teachers from around the world took the time to share with us how they were coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. A big thank you to these children, their parents, caregivers and teachers for completing our surveys and influencing this story. This is a story developed for and by children around the world.

This IASC MHPSS RG acknowledge Helen Patuck for writing the story script and illustrating this book.
