: COVID-19 BORDER MONITORING WEEKLY SITREP 9 Flow Monitoring on 50 Border Crossing Points between Haiti and 24 May 2020 the 23:00 (GMT –4) HAITI - WEEKLY SITREP - 17 MAY TO 24 MAY 2020

CONTEXT The COVID-19 outbreak first reported in the People’s Republic of China in late 2019 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisa- tion (WHO) on 11 March 2020. As of 24 May, approximately 5,205,000 confirmed cases had been reported in 187 countries, areas or territo- ries according to WHO and the neighboring country Dominican Republic already reported that 15,073 individuals tested positive to the virus and 460 died from the disease. On 20 March, the first two cases were confirmed in Haiti and the country remains at high risk of rapid conta- gion given the weak health system, the proximity and porous border with Dominican Republic and the limited external connections now possible. In response, the Government of Haiti has communicated many important instructions to minimize the spread of the disease, par- ticularly: closure of schools and factories, closure of airports and ports to passengers, banning of meetings of more than 10 people, nation- wide curfew between 20:00 and 5:00 and plea for social distancing guidelines to be respected. At present, 1,063 cases of infection, 22 re- coveries and 31 deaths have been confirmed in Haiti. IOM has adapted its ongoing Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) initiative along the Haiti– Dominican Republic border to support the ongo- ing preparedness and response. The Flow Monitoring initiative is being carried out in 50 Border Crossing Points between Haiti and the Do- minican Republic: 46 unofficial points and 4 official points in collaboration with the Support Group for the Repatriated andRefugees (GARR in French), Jesuit Services to Migrants (SJM in French) and Jano Siksè Border Network (RFJS in ).
