In support of the Government of Nepal, the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP), the COVID19 Health Sector Rapid Action Plan 2020, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) has kickstarted the revision of the current COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan (CPRP). The revision is based on the planning figure of 148,000 cases, as identified by MoHP, from November 2020 to February 2021, with a worst-case scenario caseload of 300,000. Planning assumptions include 55% of newly infected cases to be asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic, requiring in-home isolation; 45% to be complex cases or affect vulnerable demographics, requiring treatment in government isolation centres and hospitals; and 2.5% requiring ICU and ventilator support.
Government organizations at federal, provincial and local levels, civil society organizations, women’s groups, media and international organizations are collaborating and taking part in the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November and the 16 days of activism campaign to end gender based violence. Various reports and field anecdotes suggest that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased violence against women and reduced support services available, due to social distancing practices and limited mobility. Women have been disproportionately affected by loss of livelihood of psychological stress. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister has called for the elimination of all types of violence against women, and urged every individual, family and society to cooperate and commit to ending gender-based violence.
