Abstract
Protecting healthcare workers and
patients is critical to reduce the spread of the disease. In
this brief we highlight three urgent actions : Distribution
of infection prevention and control (IPC) policies and
guidelines to all health facilities; Manufacturing and
distribution of IPC supplies to health facilities; and Mass
media hand hygiene behavior change campaigns for health
workers and the general population.
