We do this work while continuing to teach about the importance of handwashing in homes, schools and clinics.<\/li><li>Strengthen our capacities to strengthen public health systems with government ministries. This is critical for two reasons:<br><ul><li><em>Sustainability:<\/em> As the current health crisis grows, local governments need the skills to change human behavior and stop the spread of the virus. A particular need is for long-term improvements in personal hygiene practices in homes and healthcare facilities.<\/li><li><em>Resilience<\/em>- Faster response times mean more lives will be saved in times of crisis. Helping and enabling government agencies to respond faster prevents chaos, misinformation, and unnecessary loss of life. This creates community resilience and preparedness for the next public health crisis.<br><br><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Support aid agencies that are funding new emergency infrastructure, such as hospitals and health centres. Our role is to ensure that good handwashing and hygiene practices, along with appropriate facilities, are included in work settings so that disease transmission is interrupted.<br><br><\/li><li>Keeping our teams in place as best we can during the COVID-19 crisis. This is so that when the situation improves in each country, we are ready to help families, communities and governments in the recovery process.<\/li><\/ol><ol><li>All global employees are working remotely wherever possible.

Therefore, the number of cases is probably much higher than what the CDC and WHO report. This is likely true in some of the Water For People country programs, as testing kits are still difficult to find and take a long time to receive results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even if the reported cases are low, that does not mean there is a low chance of contracting the virus.<\/strong> It is best to follow local government guidelines and continue practicing social distancing and safe hygiene procedures.<\/p>\n\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\tRecursos y respuestas\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tde la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS\/WHO)\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<blockquote data-card-controls=\"0\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/es\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\/advice-for-public\">Guidance for the public<\/a><\/h4><p>Stay up to date with the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, which can be accessed on the WHO website and through relevant public health authorities at national and local levels.
