Multi Stakeholders

Challenges & Lessons Learnt

• Risk Communication at airports: Outsourced private company • Digital contact tracing • Impact on non-COVID health services • Large scale testing • Exhaustion and fatigue of the frontline health workers including the involved staff

at airports • Public—Private partnership • Pandemic fatigue among the population, resulting in low adherence to public

health measures • National coordination, multisectoral collaboration • Hospital capacities, ICUs • National production of facial masks, sanitizer products and ventilators
