Consider the information communities need in relation to restrictions on their movement

Local government should advise that, for some populations, it will not be possible to ease restrictions on their movement outside of the home until:

  • an effective vaccine is developed
  • an effective treatment is developed
  • community-wide immunity is achieved to reduce the risk to acceptable levels for all groups

These individuals will require protection that includes isolation and will need a blend of national and community-based programs. For example:

  • Delivery of food and medicine
  • Provision of a specialized medical care environment
  • Social support
  • Financial assistance e.g. for basic living expenses
