While some 38 people have recovered=2C anothe= r 19 people have died from the virus. Cases are expected to increase rapid= ly over the weeks ahead as community transmission escalates=2C creating gr= ave implications for Afghanistan=E2=80=99s economy and people=E2=80=99s we= ll-being. Hirat is still the most affected part of the country. MoPH repor= ts that 4=2C237 tests have been conducted.=2C WHO has supported the Govern= ment To scale-up testing efforts with additional testing facilities. Altog= ether=2C the Government plans to expand to 15 testing facilities across th= e country within the month. WHO reports that testing kits are being sent f= rom Kabul to regional testing hubs on a need-basis. Response: UPDATED The Global Humanitarian Response Plan=2C released in March=2C is in the pr= ocess of being updated. At the country-level=2C the humanitarian community= has begun the process of revising of the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan= in light of COVID-19. In the meantime=2C activities from April-June are o= utlined in a $108.1m COVID-19 Multi-Sector Humanitarian Country Plan for A= fghanistan (https://www.humanitarianresponse.info/sites/www.humanitarianre= sponse.info/files/documents/files/covid-19_multi-sector_country_plan_afgha= nistan_final.pdf) =2C which was released in March 2020. The health response is supported by 350 WHO polio surveillance staff=2C 1= =2C000 polio surveillance focal points=2C and 34=2C000 polio surveillance= volunteers within health facilities=2C the private sector and communities= =2E These personnel are supporting efforts to enhance surveillance systems a= nd early detection. This includes training of trainers in surveillance. So= far=2C some 6=2C000 people have been trained in the country=E2=80=99s wes= t. Border closures and floods have temporarily affected humanitarian supply r= outes and caused delays in delivery of assistance. However=2C clusters con= tinue to simultaneously respond to existing humanitarian needs and those b= rought by COVID-19. The Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) repor= ts that it has increased the volume of its distributions since the onset o= f COVID-19=2C with double ration measures taken to mitigate the consequenc= es of the virus for food insecure and acutely vulnerable households. Kazak= hstan=2C Afghanistan=E2=80=99s neighbour and the largest exporter of the a= forementioned commodities=2C has now allowed monthly exports with a cap of= 200=2C000 metric tons for wheat grains and 70=2C000 metric tons for wheat= flour. This is a positive step from the previous month where exports were= withheld. FSAC is encouraged by the news noting that there is a national= wheat grain deficit of at least 1 million metric tons even in a =E2=80=98= normal=E2=80=99 year. The Protection Cluster will be working with REACH to do assessments in inf= ormal settlements and will focus on Gender-Based Violence and COVID-19-rel= ated stigmatisation of people coming from Iran and Pakistan. The Nutrition= Cluster has developed guidance for partners and nutrition care providers= for the COVID-19 response. This will be published online in the coming da= ys. Funding: UPDATED Development partners are undertaking efforts to re-programme some of their= existing funds and activities to address humanitarian needs which are agg= ravated by COVID-19. The World Bank is undertaking preparations to mobilis= e a three phased response to COVID-19 =E2=80=93 focused on immediate relie= f=2C recovery=2C and resilience. These preparations are considering how to= support and sustain the health system (through the MoPH)=2C mitigate the= fiscal shock=2C and provide livelihood protection and/or cash or food tra= nsfers in urban and rural areas. Around $100m has been approved for the he= alth response and the World Bank has indicated that it will frontload some= $200m from its planned resource allocation to mitigate the fiscal shock.= The Bank is exploring how to reprogramme funds from the existing IDA/ART= F programme towards COVID relief. The World Bank will engage with humanita= rian actors to coordinate on issues such as coverage and delivery modaliti= es especially in geographic locations outside of the Citizen=E2=80=99s Charter Programme. On 11 April=2C the European Union als= o announced that it is committing EUR 50 million in additional funding to= strengthen Afghanistan=E2=80=99s health system. Cross Border Concerns: UPDATED Borders with Tajikistan=2C Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan remain open only fo= r commercial traffic and crossings of passport holders from these countrie= s back to Afghanistan. As of 12 April=2C Johns Hopkins University reports that there are 71=2C686= confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Iran. The Islam Qala-Dogharoon land border= crossings (Hirat) remain open on both sides for both individuals and comm= ercial traffic. The Milak crossing (Nimroz) is formally open only to comme= rcial traffic and documented citizens of Afghanistan. The Ministry of Refu= gees and Repatriation (MoRR)=2C Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and Minis= try of Transport have developed a provisional plan to transfer returnees f= rom the borders to their provinces. The plan only focuses on Islam Qala (H= irat) and Milak (Nimroz) borders in its first phase. As a first option=2C= the plan prioritises efforts to slow down returns through negotiations wi= th Iran. While acknowledging such political initiatives may not gain quick= traction=2C the plan focuses on registration of returnees at the borders;= coordination with provincial authorities to have returnees transferred to= their respective provinces and transport to take them there; establishing mobile health centres in the borders; providing advice= on home quarantine and undertaking residence tracing and health checks fo= r 14 days after returnees=E2=80=99 arrival in their home. As of 12 April=2C according to Johns Hopkins University there are 5=2C170= people confirmed to have COVID-19 in Pakistan. Between 6 and 9 April=2C there was a surge in people returning to Afghanis= tan from Pakistan. In excess of 70=2C000 people are estimated to have cros= sed into Afghanistan at the Torkham and Chaman-Spin Boldak border crossing= s after the border was re-opened on 6 April. While 1=2C327 people were ini= tially put in quarantine camps established at the Torkham border=2C people= who were asymptomatic were released to go to their homes after one night. IOM is concerned about future uncontrolled waves of returnees arriving at= the border after some people some people pushed their way through recepti= on areas without undergoing health screening last week. Among those who ar= e screened=2C temperature checks are performed but it is rarely observed t= hat questions regarding contacts and other potential symptoms are asked. R= egistration of undocumented returnees is improving in coverage but remains= incomplete due to unwillingness of many returnees to wait to register. Th= e Government=E2=80=99s capacity for documenting and tracing of passport an= d Tazkera-holding returnees remains unclear. After weeks of closure=2C two main crossing points for bilateral trade (tr= ucks) between Pakistan and Afghanistan were opened on 10 April. Pakistan= =E2=80=99s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had confirmed on 8 April that Pakis= tan would facilitate the movement of cargo trucks and containers into Afgh= anistan through the Torkham and Chaman border crossing points three days p= er week (on Monday=2C Wednesday and Friday). This is expected to ease chal= lenges associated with moving humanitarian cargo. The first convoy of stra= nded cargo trucks started entering Afghanistan on 10 April =E2=80=93 inclu= ding four trucks carrying key food commodities. Eleven remaining humanitar= ian supply trucks are expected to cross in the coming days and weeks. Operational Issues: UPDATED A number of provinces have instituted measures to limit the exposure of re= sidents to COVID-19. In Kabul and Hirat these include =E2=80=98measured lo= ckdowns=E2=80=99 which have resulted in closures of sections of each city= and/or limits on the number of people travelling together. Additional mea= sures to contain the spread of COVID-19 came into effect in Kabul on 8 Apr= il. Initial reports suggest that newly introduced lockdown measures have i= mpacted on mobility for some UN and NGO staff members. All Kabul residents= are now required to remain at their homes=2C except for cases of medical= emergencies or when there is a particular need to go out to purchase esse= ntial food items. According to a decree distributed by the Ministry of Int= erior Affairs on 7 April=2C all ANSF personnel patrolling Kabul have been= instructed to prevent movement of all residents of Kabul=2C except for pe= rsonnel/staff/workers of the entities working for the health sector=2C eme= rgency services=2C media and other essential services. Staff members of these entities are allowed to move in Kabul only with valid ID cards. Deta= ils of how lockdowns are being implemented in different regions can be fou= nd in previous days=E2=80=99 COVID-19 Daily Briefs (https://www.humanitari= anresponse.info/en/operations/afghanistan/documents) . Humanitarian partne= rs urge the Government to employ a national approach to these issues so th= at individual negotiations are not required on a case-by-case basis. The c= losure of government institutions due to movement restrictions may create= new coordination challenges for humanitarian agencies. Some NGOs and UN agencies have reduced their international footprint in co= untry and many staff are now working remotely. Others are scaling-up to re= spond to the COVID-19 risk and ensure continuity of existing services in t= he areas where they operate. UN offices remain open and staff are working= to ensure life-saving assistance continues to vulnerable people. Virtual= meetings are being held as much as possible to protect staff from the vir= us. Commercial flight suspensions to Afghanistan are now in force and the Unit= ed Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) is urgently making arrangement= s for an international airbridge. UNHAS has received an initial $3.7m in f= unding from the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund and is now in the process of= securing flight approvals for an international service with three flights= per week. UNHAS has contracted a 50-seater aircraft (EMB145) which will s= erve both international as well as domestic locations=2C depending on dema= nd. The aircraft has now arrived and pending permissions=2C it should be o= perational later this month. Domestic UNHAS flights in Afghanistan are sti= ll operating normally and flights to Hirat are currently departing three t= imes per week. Twice weekly UNHAS helicopter services have been introduced= to move staff to and from Jalalabad. ------------------------------------------------------------ Download the full update =C2=BB (https://www.humanitarianresponse.info/sit= es/www.humanitarianresponse.info/files/documents/files/daily_brief_covid-1= 9_12_april_2020.pdf) Click here to subscribe (http://eepurl.com/ydXVr) to future COVID-19 updat= es and other OCHA products.
