    Document purpose: High-density urban areas may face challenges implementing COVID-19 mitigation measures due to space limitations within and between households and limited water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. This document provides suggestions for community mitigation measures in densely populated, international, low-resource settings and describes implementation considerations associated with each measure. Community mitigation activities are actions that people and communities can take to prevent or reduce local COVID-19 transmission. This document describes measures that both individuals and organizations can take to support households in high-density urban areas.

    Document audience: This document is intended for use by any person, institution, or organization preparing for or responding to community transmission in high-density urban settings and for those assisting those organizations (federal and local governments, CDC country offices, and others). It contains special considerations for low-resource, international settings.
