The Palestinian Red Crescent Organization in Syria has developed an emergency plan in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Medical inquires will be received by the organization via an ad hoc helpline.
The organization said the plan is going to be put into effect in the next few hours as part of ongoing attempts to help curb the virus in Palestinian refugee camps and raise awareness about COVID-19 symptoms and precautionary tips.
Recently, AGPS expressed has deep concern that the lack of transparency maintained by the Syrian government regarding the pandemic will result in a catastrophic situation in displacement camps, at a time when the deadly virus continues to claim the lives of thousands of people across the globe.
AGPS said it fears coronavirus could spread quickly in jails and in overcrowded displacement camps, where neither hygiene kit nor medical equipment are accessible.
The Syrian government has reported only 29 cases of confirmed COVID-19 tests and two deaths from the virus.
