COVID-19 RESPONSE

PREVENTING CAUSES AND ALLEVIATING EFFECTS OF

A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute

respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in

December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak a Public

Health Emergency of International Concern on 30th January 2020 and a pandemic on 11th

March 2020. Local transmission of the disease has been recorded in most countries across all

six WHO regions. Preventive measures to reduce the chances of infection include staying at

home, avoiding crowded places, washing hands with soap and water often and for at least 20

seconds, practicing good respiratory hygiene and avoiding touching the eyes, nose or mouth

with unwashed hands. To slow down the spread of COVID-19 countries all around the world

are putting their citizens on various forms of lockdown.

In Bangladesh, the first three known cases of COVID-19 were reported on 7th March 2020 by

the country's epidemiology institute IEDCR. Infections stayed low till the end of March but saw

a steep rise in April. To prevent the spread, on 22nd March 2020, Bangladesh declared a 10-

day shutdown effective from 26th March 2020 to 4th April 2020, which was then extended to

14th April 2020 and followed by a further extension up to 25th April 2020. Considering the

infectious nature of the virus, the lockdown is an important measure to slow down its spread.

However, a significant percentage of the Bangladeshi population work in the informal sector

and depend on daily earnings and therefore, have been left jobless. And naturally, some parts

of the country are affected more than the others. Cox’s Bazar Sadar, Ukhiya and Teknaf

Upazilas, for instance, are among the 50 most socially deprived Upazilas in Bangladesh and the

Rohingya influx in 2017 has further aggravated the situation. Furthermore, considering Cox’s

Bazar is largely dependent on tourism, the COVID-19 pandemic followed by the shutdown has

made it more susceptible to social and economic crisis.

To address the situation, Action Against Hunger Cox’s Bazar Base has started its COVID-19

response activities on the 25th of March, 2020 in Cox’s Bazar district as well as in the Rohingya

Camps. In the beginning of this response there was no dedicated fund but to quickly respond

to this humanitarian crisis, Action Against Hunger utilized flexibility of some existing budgets

while maintaining full compliances of different project parameters (e.g.: geographic locations,

vulnerable population target groups, etc.). Our heartfelt thanks to our donors whose quick

support enabled us to stand behind the most vulnerable population of Cox’s Bazar during this

humanitarian crisis. The response activities include installation of hand-washing points,

disinfection of areas, cooked food distribution, awareness raising, mental health and

psychosocial support and emergency health care services. In order to ensure cleanliness amidst

the pandemic, Action Against Hunger conducted disinfection activities and installed hand-

washing points replenishing water and soap as required, in the key locations of all 8 Upazilas

(sub-district) of Cox’s Bazar district. 6,500 packets of cooked food have been distributed

of 32

among the most vulnerable families affected by the shutdown due to Covid-19. Action Against

Hunger also provided Mental health and psychosocial support to people who are in home

quarantine via tele-counselling. Mass awareness has been done by miking COVID-19

prevention messages in 5 Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar. Action Against Hunger has also conducted

sessions with Majhis and Imams in an attempt to ensure proper dissemination of messages at

all levels.

INSTALLATION OF HAND-WASHING POINTS

One of the most important ways to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 is to wash hands

frequently with soap and water. Therefore, Action Against Hunger Cox’s Bazar Base has taken

an initiative to ensure that people get a chance to wash their hands frequently even when they

are out on the street.

As of 15th April 2020, Action Against Hunger has installed 165 hand-washing points in different

locations of Cox’s Bazar district. The availability of water and soap in the hand-washing points

encourages people to wash their hands frequently. This simple practice will not only prevent

the spread of COVID-19 but also make people accustomed to good hygiene practice.

Mahadi Muhammad, the Divisional Director of Action Against Hunger inaugurated the

handwashing-point installation activity on the 26th of March, 2020 in Cox’s Bazar along with

law enforcement agency staff. He said that this initiative is a gesture from Action Against

Hunger to the people of Cox’s Bazar in view of the Independence Day of Bangladesh.

Mojibur Rahaman, Mayor of Cox’s Bazar Municipality also visited different hand-washing

points installed by Action Against Hunger and extremely appreciated the noble initiative. At

the Sub-district level, the UNOs of Ramu, Teknaf, Ukhia, Pekua, Chokoria, Moheshkhali and

Kutubdia inaugurated the hand-washing point installation in their respective Upazila. All of

them appreciated this life-saving initiative taken by Action Against Hunger.

Figure 1 shows the percentage and number of hand-washing points installed in different

locations (both in Rohingya camps and in the host community) of Cox’s Bazar district. As seen

in the figure, most of the hand-washing points have been installed in Cox’s Bazar Sadar,

followed by the Rohingya Camps, Ukhiya, Moheshkhali, Teknaf, Pekua and Chakaria Upazila.

Monitoring and replenishing of soap and water

Action Against Hunger understands the importance of continuously replenishing water and

soap to keep the hand-washing points functional.

Hence, the emergency response team of Action Against Hunger has been regularly monitoring

the hand-washing points to ensure adequate water and soaps are available at all times. The

response team is also ensuring that the hand-washing points are clean and accessible in both

the host community and the Rohingya Camp.

During the reporting time period (25th March 2020 - 15th April 2020) different hand-washing

points were refilled with 64,440 liter of water. 1,237 pieces of additional soaps were also

placed in points that ran out of soap. A summary of installed hand-washing points’ locations is

DISINFECTION ACTIVITIES

Action Against Hunger has started disinfection activities from 26th of March, 2020, to prevent

the spread of the novel Coronavirus. The Mayor of Cox’s Bazar Municipality and DC of Cox’s

Bazar district inaugurated the disinfection activity in Cox’s Bazar Sadar.

Action Against Hunger’s disinfection activities are ongoing in different sub-districts of the

Cox’s Bazar district. The Government officials along with elected representatives are also

taking part in the disinfection activities. Apart from disinfecting the streets, Action Against

Hunger has also initiated disinfecting Hospitals, Diagnostic centers, Religious institutions,

Government offices and Market areas. So far, 79 institutions have been disinfected with

Chlorine mixed solution.

In the Rohingya Camp, disinfection activities were carried out in WASH facilities such as

latrines, bathing cubicles and drain lines. A total of 3,810 latrines and bathing cubicles and

77,693 RFT drainage were disinfected during the reporting period. The disinfection activities

have been greatly appreciated by the Government as well as local people. Everybody is

welcoming Action Against Hunger’s initiatives while also hoping that such humanitarian

support will be continued in the future. The UNOs of different Upazilas are spontaneously

taking part in the activities and also helping Action Against Hunger to run the activities without

hindrance. Details of areas disinfected is in Annex-B.

HYGIENE PROMOTION ACTIVITIES

Cox’s Bazar is highly susceptible to COVID-19 outbreak due to the huge number of exposed

populations at registered and makeshift camp settlements. Aligned with humanitarian drive,

Action Against Hunger Cox’s Bazar Base started taking significant preventive measures such

as installing hand-washing points and distributing Hygiene kits in the Rohingya camp.

Action Against Hunger WaSH Team distributed Hygiene kits containing handwashing kits

among the Rohingya people so that they can take preventive measures against COVID-19. Till

date 697 IEC materials such as posters, banners and stickers have been distributed in the host

community to raise awareness against COVID-19 and 971 IEC materials have been distributed

in the Rohingya Camp.

The WaSH team has also oriented and mobilized community volunteers to disseminate

awareness messages on COVID-19 in the camps. Community and religious leaders have also

been involved in message dissemination. 375 Imams and Majhis of camp1E, 1W, 2E, 3, 5, and

18 were also oriented on COVID-19 and COVID-19 prevention measures by individual

meetings. Host community areas have also been included in some activities. 261 people were

reached with awareness messages on COVID-19 and COVID-19 prevention in the host

community. Action Against Hunger was also able to reach a total of 19,561 people in camps

1E, 1W, 2E, 3, 5, 9, 10, and 11 with door to door awareness message dissemination by

volunteers. Details of Hygiene Promotion Activities is in Annex-C

COOKED FOOD DISTRIBUTION

The shutdown due to Covid-19 has left low-income people and daily laborers with no earnings.

It has become very difficult for them to even get access to the basic necessities like food.

Considering the situation, Action Against Hunger Cox’s Bazar Base has started distributing

cooked meal among the most vulnerable people of Cox’s Bazar from 2nd April 2020. Action

Against Hunger is primarily focusing on people who are facing economic hardship, daily

laborers and women headed households. On an average 500 packets of cooked food

(vegetable khichuri and boiled egg) are distributed daily. With the support of local

administration, Action Against Hunger has continued food distribution from 2nd April onwards.

6,500 packets of cooked food has been distributed among poor and vulnerable people till date.

Apart from these, if the pandemic spread into the Rohingya Camp, Action Against Hunger has

the capacity to distribute cooked food among the people who will not be in position to cook

their own food (i.e. people who will be in quarantine). Details of cooked food distribution is in

Annex-D.

The COVID-19 pandemic is also inducing fear, worry and concern among all groups of people.

With the support of administration and other government institutions, Action Against Hunger

Cox’s Bazar Base’s Mental Health Care Practices Gender and Protection department has

started providing emergency and need based services to the people of Cox’s Bazar since 25th

March 2020.

Tele-Counselling Service

Tele-counselling (Counselling over phone) is a crying need during this pandemic outbreak for

affected as well as quarantined population to cope with stress and fear. Hence, clinical

psychologists of Action Against Hunger have started tele-counselling as an emergency

response from the 25th of March, 2020. The service is open for all and covering Action Against

Hunger staff as well as outsiders who are seeking support.

The data represented in figure 2, shows the number of weekly new and follow-up cases in this

session conducted during the reporting period (25th March to 15th April 2020). Total 216 new

sessions and 147 follow-up sessions were conducted during the period.

Figure 2 - Weekly New and Follow-up Cases (Number and Percentage) for Tele-Counselling

Support through centers

To help people cope with stress, Action Against Hunger also provided Mental Health and

Psychosocial Support through 12 Mental Health and Wellness Centers in Cox’s Bazar. 7 of

them are in the Rohingya Camp, 4 in Upazilla Health Complexes (Ukhiya, Teknaf, Pekua,

Maheshkhali) and 1 in Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital. In total, 669 beneficiaries were reached

through 72 awareness raising sessions, 26 parenting skills sessions, 33 psychoeducation to

pregnant and lactating mother sessions, 6 individual counselling sessions, 16 staff care

sessions, and 1 life skill session. Among the 669 beneficiaries, 468 are female, 201 are male.

NUTRITION & HEALTH INTERVENTIONS

of 32

Action Against Hunger’s Nutrition team is responding to the COVID-19 through regular

activities adhering to the preventive measures. To start with, in the Rohingya Camp, Nutrition

program is distributing twice the amount of supplies than before so that the number of times

the beneficiaries have to come to the centers within a certain interval is halved. This is

beneficial to the beneficiaries given that their exposure to the outer environment is reduced.

So, through this new system SAM beneficiaries are getting food in 14 days interval, TSFP

beneficiaries are getting in 28 days interval and BSFP beneficiaries are getting food in 56 days

interval. Fourteen Nutrition centers are open to ensure good nutritional status of beneficiaries.

Along with this, the Nutrition staff ensure that the beneficiaries are maintaining social

distancing as well as personal hygiene. The staff also check beneficiary’s body temperature and

refer to nearby health facility if necessary. Action Against Hunger usually runs 5 stabilization

centers for severe cases, however, due to the COVID-19 situation, 3 are functioning at the

moment. The same measure is also taken in the host community CMAM intervention.

Distribution are being made every 14 days in OTP and every 28 days in TSFP. Action Against

Hunger is also under the process of providing PPE for the staff who are directly involved in

facilitating treatment.

Action Against Hunger’s Nutrition department has also provided COVID-19 orientation to all

the staff working in the field. Following the staff orientation, same orientation has been

cascaded down to Volunteers as well. Moreover, Nutrition department has set up handwashing

points and Triage system in each facility. It is mandatory that each staff, beneficiary and visitors

wash their hands before entering the facility. Infrared thermometer are used to detect fever

and other symptoms of covid-19 symptoms are recorded in the triage registration book.

Isolation centers for each camp, focal persons and referral pathway related information have

also been shared with all facilities. At the moment, there are no suspected cases reported to

isolation facilities in the camp.

Action Against Hunger’s Nutrition Department has also requested procurement of PPE items

and currently using its IPC stock to ensure that all staff and volunteers use masks, hand

sanitizers, gloves, etc. Facility environment and furniture are being disinfected on a regular

basis in collaboration with WASH department.

of 32

COVID-19 IEC materials are being printed and disseminated to each facility in festoon and

paper form. Fliers on handwashing are being distributed to the community.

To ensure effective social distancing a number of activities have been scaled down (including

IYCF, C-MAMI, GMP, MNP and IFA distribution, trainings). The focus now is only on essential

services (SC, OTP, TSFP and BSFP). Currently, nutrition is using only three staff per integrated

nutrition facility (Nurse, measurer, Community mobilizer).

COMMUNICATION WITH COMMUNITIES (CWC) INTERVENTIONS

of 32

During the reporting period, though community transmissibility was not recorded in Cox’s

Bazar district, entire Cox’s Bazar district was highly susceptible to COVID-19 outbreak.

Especially the two sub-districts Ukhiya and Teknaf, are susceptible due to the huge number of

exposed population in the Rohingya Camp as well as in the adjacent host community areas.

Undoubtedly, awareness raising is the most effective preventive initiative amidst this crisis.

Therefore, Action Against Hunger’s Communication with Communities team conducted

awareness raising among mass people by disseminating Civil Surgeon and WHO approved key

messages on COVID-19 via loudspeakers (miking).

With permission from the Government, the miking of key messages started on the 26th of

March, 2020 and continued until the 2nd of April, 2020 and covered 5 Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar.

IEC materials on Handwashing and Mental Health Wellbeing were also distributed in these

areas.

Photo: Mass awareness raising about COVID-19 via loudspeakers

412 people were reached with Audio-Video messages and Question-Answer sessions about

COVID-19 and Hygiene promotion in Camps 1W, 2E, 3, 13, 14. 250 of the people reached are

female and 162 are male.

Awareness raising and informative messages were also disseminated through our social media

platforms (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube). The messages mainly focused on the causes and

prevention tactics of COVID-19. We have also disseminated messages to help people cope

with stress through the social media platforms.

The timeline (figure 3) shows the area coverage (Sub-districts) during the period of 26th March

2020, to 2nd April 2020. Details of area coverage of COVID-19 awareness message
