    UNHCR Ethiopia: Update on COVID-19 (8 May 2020)
    As of 07 May 2020, Ethiopia has tested a total of 28,445 people and reported 191 confirmed COVID-19 cases, four deaths and 93 recoveries. The country has observed a considerable increase in the number of cases compared to 133 last week. There are no confirmed cases amongst the refugee population and their host communities thus far, but UNHCR continues to intensify efforts to prevent and limit the potential spread of the corona virus among the over 761,000 refugees in the country.
    UNHCR Kenya: COVID-19 Biweekly Update (8 May 2020)
    As of 7 May 2020, there are 607 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Kenya, of which 197 have recovered and 29 have passed away. In total, 28,445 people have been tested. There are no confirmed cases among refugees and asylum-seekers.
    UNHCR Somalia: Update on COVID-19 Response (28 April 2020)
    Somalia’s recently recorded increase in cases of local transmission puts UNHCR’s persons of concern, including 2.6 million IDPs, 130,000 Somali refugee returnees, 15,000 asylum-seekers and 14,000 refugees at risk. In particular, the outbreak of COVID-19 in IDP settlements in Somalia, one of the most impoverished and fragile countries in the world, would be catastrophic. UNHCR requires US$ 7 million to scale up the preparedness and response to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on persons of concern.
    UNHCR Sudan: Flash Updates (Issue no. 6 – 4 May 2020)
    UNHCR stays and delivers despite COVID-19. With fewer CAR refugees per bus, their relocation to Al Mashaga, South Darfur, a newly established settlement, is underway. The first 800 men, women and children arrived safely.
