From: Ten considerations for effectively managing the COVID-19 transition
The considerations substantiate the WHO/Euro principle #6, ‘Communities have a voice, are informed and engaged, and participate in the transition’3, and were derived from an online expert consultation. The considerations do not imply a temporal sequence and are interrelated, just as listening to communities, engaging with them and informing them are interlinked. The ten considerations are aimed at providing suggestions to governments. The awareness that there will be no going back to normal but a stepwise adaptation to a ‘new normal’ is in the centre of the transition process (#1). Giving communities a voice (#2–4), engaging them in the transition (#5–7) and informing them in the best possible way (#8–10)3 can help effectively manage the transition.
