On 28 February, WHO increased its assessment of the risk of = spread and the risk of impact of COVID-19 to =E2=80=9Cvery high=E2=80=9D = at the global level =E2=80=93 its top level of risk assessment =E2=80=93 = while stressing that there still is a chance of containing the virus if = its chain of transmission is broken. The daily number of new people = confirmed to have COVID-19 in China has been stabilising, however since = 26 February more people with COVID-19 have been reported outside China. = Furthermore, the increasing spread of the virus from and within Italy, = Iran and South Korea remains a concern. Travel restrictions by countries = are changing rapidly and should be monitored on daily basis. =20 On 24 February, Afghanistan=E2=80=99s Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) = reported that one person with COVID-19 had been confirmed in the western = province of Hirat. The person had recently travelled from Qom in Iran. = It is reported that all schools in Hirat are closed and public = gatherings banned until further notice. As of 3 March, MoPH is = investigating 81 people presumptive for COVID-19 (see table below). The = clinical condition of the person confirmed and those presumptive for = COVID-19 is good.

MoPH is working closely with WHO, Health Cluster partners, = IOM and other relevant stakeholders to rapidly expand in-country = preparedness and containment capacity, to strengthen detection and = surveillance capacity at points-of-entry into Afghanistan, such as = airports and border-crossing sites (especially in the west), and to = continue the training of medical staff on case-management, risk = communication and community engagement. The level of support and = activities in all key areas will need to be expanded rapidly to manage = the further spread of the disease. =20 As of 2 March, MoPH has 1,600 screening tests and 150 confirmation tests = available in-country. Additionally, MoPH has recently established five = committees for the surveillance of COVID-19 at the national and = provincial level: Points of Entry Committee; Population Surveillance = Committee; Data Management Committee; National COVID-19 Contact Tracing = Committee; and the Lab Surveillance Committee. =20 60 UNICEF-supported MHTs are on stand-by across 13 provinces to provide = primary health care services in potentially affected areas.

This = dedicated capacity can swiftly be deployed to border-crossing sites with = Iran and Pakistan. UNICEF is currently in discussion with local = authorities to provide washing stations and hand sanitiser for returnees = (citizens of Afghanistan) at screening facilities at the Islam Qala = border crossing. =20 Cross Border Concerns: UPDATED As of 3 March, there are five people confirmed to have COVID-19 in = Pakistan.

The = border will remain closed for seven days. However, Pakistan=E2=80=99s = main border crossing with Afghanistan - the Torkham border crossing - = remains open. =20 IOM reports that there has been a higher number of spontaneous returnees = (citizens of Afghanistan) from Iran during recent days as many labour = camps have been closed due to the rapid spread of COVID-19. Awareness = raising and evidence-based sensitisation on COVID-19 facts remain key = gaps and require further strengthening. =20 IOM and WHO are actively supporting response activities with MoPH to = address preparedness and emergency coordination actions in the border = provinces with Iran and Pakistan (Nangarhar, Kandahar, Nimroz and = Hirat). Support includes: secondment of staff for cross border = surveillance; material support; publication of MoPH and WHO Information, = Education and Communication (IEC) materials; billboards; community-level = awareness raising and sensitisation efforts through health education = sessions and Displacement Tracking Matrix focus group discussions; and = use of IOM transit facilities as temporary isolation/quarantine spaces. =20 Education The Ministry of Education is working closely with MoPH to develop IEC = posters for hygiene and sanitation promotion to be distributed in = schools across the country.
