Minimum Public Health Interventions for Post COVID-19 Lockdown: Lives and Livelihoods
01 July 2020
The fourth Policy Actions for COVID-19 Economic Recovery (PACER) Dialogue on “Minimum public health interventions for post COVID-19 lockdown: Lives and Livelihoods” featured global good practice examples of effective public health interventions to kick-start opening up of economies. Over 70 participants including government officials from Southeast Asia and the People’s Republic of China, World Health Organization, United Nations International Children's Fund and other international organization officials participated in the Dialogue, sharing knowledge and country experiences and lessons on public health measures taken to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerate recovery.
The fourth PACER Dialogue aimed to:
- promote a better understanding of the options available for a stepladder approach on public health policies, considering different country situations and harmonizing health standards across borders;
- disseminate global best practices and lessons on sustainable social distancing as part of measures to “bounce back better” from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
- provide a platform for policy makers and health practitioners to share knowledge and experience and collaboratively learn from each other.
