Military Personnel Guidance (Supplement 1) for DOD and OSD Component Heads and Military Commanders in Responding to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
From the Document: "This attachment provides supplemental military personnel guidance to DoD and OSD [Office of the Secretary of Defense] Component Heads and military commanders (collectively referred to as 'commanders') for the administration of personnel policies and pays and benefits in the context of the effects created by the spread of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. It is intended to identify flexibilities to help DoD minimize risk to military personnel and their families, respond to evolving situations, as well as ensure the readiness of our force to continue to execute our missions and support our domestic and international partners. Commanders have broad authority to exercise sound judgment in all cases, and this guidance describes available authority and flexibility that can be applied to promote, rather than to restrict, possible solutions. Most pay and benefits for military members continue and are unaffected by the effects of COVID-19, and unless addressed by this supplemental guidance, will continue to be paid in accordance with existing laws, regulations, policies, and procedures." The following fact sheet provides additional information: [https://media.defense.gov/2020/Apr/09/2002278146/-1/-1/1/PAY-PERSONNEL-BENEFITS-FAQ-SUP-1.PDF].

DOD Allows Payments to Contractors Who Cannot Work Due to COVID-19 Facility Closures or Other Restrictions
From the Document: "Statement attributed to Lt. Col. Mike Andrews, Department of Defense spokesman: 'The Defense Pricing and Contracting (DPC) office has issued a class deviation to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) entitled, 'CARES Act Section 3610 Implementation.' This deviation addresses section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which allows agencies to reimburse contractors for payment to workers who are prevented from working due to COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] facility closures or other restrictions. The deviation provides a framework for contracting officers to assess any claimed allowable costs associated with the declared public health emergency, recognizing the importance of supporting affected contractors to ensure that, together, we remain a healthy, resilient, and responsive total force."

Policy Brief: The Impact of COVID-19 on Women
From the Introduction: "The year 2020, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, was intended to be ground-breaking for gender equality. Instead, with the spread of the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease] pandemic even the limited gains made in the past decades are at risk of being rolled back. The pandemic is deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing vulnerabilities in social, political and economic systems which are in turn amplifying the impacts of the pandemic. Across every sphere, from health to the economy, security to social protection, the impacts of COVID-19 are exacerbated for women and girls simply by virtue of their sex."

Strategies for the Surveillance of COVID-19
From the Background: "All EU/EEA [European Union/European Economic Area] Member States and the United Kingdom are seeing widespread community transmission of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and have implemented extensive public health, societal and economic measures to flatten the epidemic curve and avert overload or collapse of their healthcare systems. This document proposes an updated strategy for COVID-19 surveillance at national and EU/EEA level that specifically aims to reconcile the data needs for effective pandemic response with what is still feasible in countries and within healthcare systems under siege, while taking into account guidance issued by the World Health Organization."

ODNI Statement on the CARES Act
From the Statement: "The recent passage of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has given the U.S. government a powerful tool to use in the protection of our valuable partners in the federal contractor workforce, as we together face the COVID-19 crisis. Section 3610 of the CARES Act, 'Federal Contractor Authority,' provides flexibility to agencies to reimburse contractors for keeping their employees in a ready state, even when those contractor employees are unable to report to an approved work site or are otherwise unable to telework. The Intelligence Community (IC) is working closely together to implement this important new flexibility."

COVID-19 Explained: No Isolation Without Consultation
From the Document: "While Health Sector has yet to finalize plans for shielding and isolation facilities, consultations were held to determine what factors and logic will impact people's decision to engage in these plans more generally. Rohingyas' wider acceptance of health interventions is equally as important as health intervention themselves and there is an urgent need to consider 'community acceptance' as an intrinsic part of health intervention programming. [...] Edition 2 of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Explained showed that failure to consult Rohingya on decisions about COVID-19 have already negatively impacted their trust in humanitarians and there is a significant risk that trust may be further eroded if and when isolation and shielding plans are implemented without discussion and consultation with Rohingya."

Do Socio-Economic Indicators Associate with COVID-2019 Cases? Findings from a Philippine Study
From the Background: "A wide spectrum of indicators has been postulated to associate with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-2019) cases. Among which were demographic profile, latitude, humidity, temperature, and ozone concentration. Despite obtaining significant results, there is still a dearth of research exploring other substantial determinants of Covid-2019 cases. The Philippine government is currently challenged to address issues pertaining to poverty and substinence. Empirical evidence of these studies suggests how identification of potential indicators could aid in the formulation of targeted strategies to mitigate future health problems. In this study, seven socio-economic indicators were associated with Covid-2019 cases across 17 regions in the Philippines."

Staggering Economic Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic
From the Executive Summary: "We are just beginning to understand the scope of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the economic fallout from the virus. With unemployment numbers literally off the charts, most states under lockdown and an uncertain future ahead, it is important for policymakers to understand the toll this is taking on the public, as well as noting the racial disparities that are being further exacerbated by this situation. And they need to act now because, through no fault of their own, millions of Americans have been laid off, had their hours reduced at their jobs or lost their health insurance. For many voters, the economic consequences of the Coronavirus have arrived."

Implementation Guidance for Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
From the Document: "The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted on March 27, 2020, in response to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) national emergency. Section 3610 of the CARES Act allows agencies to reimburse, at the minimum applicable contract billing rates (not to exceed an average of 40 hours per week), any paid leave, including sick leave, a contractor provides to keep its employees or subcontractors in a ready state, including to protect the life and safety of Government and contractor personnel, during the public health emergency declared for COVID-19 on January 31, 2020, through September 30, 2020.[...] To ensure traceability, it is critical that the contract and supporting documentation clearly identify these costs for reimbursement paid to contractors under section 3610 authority, as well as how such costs are identified, segregated, recorded, invoiced, and reimbursed."

Geographic Disparities in COVID-19 Testing: An Urgent Call to Action
From the Document: "Testing for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is essential to help researchers understand the epidemiology of the disease and to help policymakers and healthcare professionals reduce spread, strategically deliver treatment resources, and devise appropriate policy responses. There is already evidence that U.S.states with more confirmed infections (which can only be determined with testing) are more likely than their peer states with fewer confirmed cases to enact physical distancing protocols, thereby dramatically reducing travel and other mechanisms for virus spread. In his March 23 media briefing, 1 the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General made a strong call for the testing of every suspected case as part of an 'aggressive and targeted' tactic against COVID-19."

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Situation Report - 80
From the Highlights: "[1] No new country/territory/area reported cases of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] in the past 24 hours. [2] The daily situation report will now report the COVID-19 transmission scenario for each country using the definitions published in the updated global surveillance guidance published on 20 March (here). Transmission scenarios are self-reported by Member States to WHO. The determination of transmission scenario is still pending for some Member States. The transmission scenarios are: no confirmed cases, sporadic cases, clusters of cases, and community transmission. [...3] As millions of Christians, Jews and Muslims celebrate Easter, Passover and Ramadan, WHO [World Health Organization] has released guidance for religious leaders and faith-based communities in the context of COVID-19. [...4] Today marks 100 days since WHO was notified of the first cases of 'pneumonia with unknown cause' in China. In yesterday's media briefing, Director-General Dr Tedros recalled the work that WHO and its partners have been doing over this period and the continuing efforts to stop the pandemic in five key areas."

LGBTQ+ Covid 19 Listening Session
From the Webpage: "While everyone is impacted by the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] public health crisis, the impact is far greater on people from underserved communities: older adults, people with disabilities, communities of color and so many more. Prior to COVID-19, these communities were already underserved by victim services despite experiencing higher rates of victimization. These same communities have access to fewer resources, which compounds the challenges they already face and the new challenges created by COVID-19. To ensure these survivors from underserved communities are at the center of all COVID-19 response efforts, we need to better understand the impact this health crisis is having on survivors' needs and better resource the crime victim services field to respond to their needs. We hosted a series of listening sessions designed to surface the unique challenges facing survivors from specific underserved communities and to identify solutions. We believe that the collective wisdom and creative-problem solving within our field is needed now more than ever. We invite you to view the recordings and access the resources shared."

COVID-19 Global Pandemic: Joint Statement by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
From the Document: "We, the members of OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] Development Assistance Committee (DAC), are deeply saddened by the large-scale deaths and human suffering caused by the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. It threatens to reverse existing achievements on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to undermine further progress in the 'Decade for Action'. [...] The consequences of the crisis are severe for us all, but poor people - especially those in fragile countries - will be the hardest hit, where health systems, government structures and social safety nets are weak. The ensuing economic effects are likely to be profoundly damaging, particularly for already vulnerable people, and could jeopardise political and economic stability. Economic slowdown, declining exports and tourism revenues, and capital outflows, are depressing tax revenues and aggravating sovereign debt."

Leading in a Crisis: Committing to Clear Crisis Communications
From the Webpage: "In every crisis, it is essential that government and public sector leaders provide a compelling story. A good crisis narrative teaches the public about the realities of the predicament. It conveys what leaders know, do not know and cannot know, and what they are doing to figure out as much as possible. It recognises emotions and sacrifices. It conveys social norms and political commitments. It instills hope and radiates confidence An effective crisis narrative shapes public perceptions and channels public emotions and collective behavior in positive directions. We call this 'meaning-making' and it is a critical task of crisis management. It combines the various tools of political communication: written (press releases, parliamentary briefings, staff emails), verbal (speeches, press conferences, media interviews, debates, vlogs) and symbolic instruments (visiting sites and facilities; engaging with victims, responders and staff; and attending funerals and memorial services). Most leaders intuitively understand that meaning-making in a crisis is critical. Yet, many leaders find this task difficult to perform."
