Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) training: Simulation exercise

[Robertsino]

If you want to call me a card carrying, tinfoil hat wearing, lunatic, that is OK. However, please, please, look through this information. As well as the PowerPoint files and doc files

The information comes from the United Nations and was apparently written before this pandemic crisis started.


This might also be part of the follow up training regarding the Event 201.

Country & Technical Guidance - Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)

To support countries’ preparedness effort on the COVID-19 outbreak, WHO`s Department of Health Security and Preparedness has developed various COVID-19 tabletop exercise (SimEx) packages. This includes:

A Generic Covid19 SimEx to examine and strengthen existing plans, procedures and capabilities to manage an imported case of 2019-nCov and targets the health authorities at the national level.

A Health facility & IPC SimEx that is based on the Core Components of Infection Prevention and Control Programmes at the National and Acute Care Facility Level.

A Point of Entry (POE) SimEx to examine and strengthen existing plans, procedures and capabilities at the main airport (POE).

The simulation package consists of different elements including:

PowerPoint presentations to support the facilitation of the exercise and its subsequent debriefing
A participants’ guide and a facilitators’ guide to explain what is expected from the different people involved in the preparation and running of the exercise.

A set of reference documents and technical guidance on 2019-nCov


The package highlights clearly where some minor adaptions are needed to make the simulation country-specific and more relevant to the participants.

If you need technical support to implement this exercise, please contact your WHO country office or regional office focal point.
