Description:the year 2020 had just started to unfold when the COVID-19 pandemic began to shake the foundations of social, economic and political stability. the Global Polio eradication Initiative (GPeI) has much to offer to the world in this unprecedented situation. It has shown what works for finding and tracing a virus and engaging and empowering communities to protect themselves and others.
The polio infrastructure has a long history of supporting broader public health efforts. the year 2020 again demonstrated this, as never before. Polio staff rapidly pivoted to support the COVID response activities. they helped with disease surveillance, facilitated lab diagnostics, conducted contact tracing and educated communities on physical distancing and hygiene best practices, and distributed soap. these are among the foundations of essential health services.
