Across the world, due to the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), children are affected by physical distancing, quarantines and nationwide school closures.
Some children and young people may be feeling more isolated, anxious, bored and uncertain.They may feel fear, and grief, over the impact of the virus on their families.
Working with our partners, WHO will bring you content to help open the world of isolation. Watch out for resources and ideas to support parents and projects that will engage children in understanding the coronavirus, the challenges it brings to their world and what can be done to protect them.
We will also introduce children to creative content that will entertain and provide a much-needed escape into the fun and magical worlds of imagination.

Employment-related measures
(e.g. state compensation schemes, training…)
The Ministry of Finance and the Social Security Commission in a combined effort announced the rolling out of a relief package, aimed at mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on various sectors of the economy.
The efforts were combined to ensure effective utilization of state resources. In this regard, the Ministry of Finance is availing an amount of N$400 million, while the SSC is making a cash contribution of N$253 million to the scheme. In addition SSC is granting a contribution holiday of three months to the selected affected industries.
As part of the ongoing response from the Government of the Republic of Namibia, the Ministry of Finance announced the National Employment and Salary Scheme for COVID-19, in an effort to save jobs and reduce potential impact on employment due to the pandemic. The scheme encompasses the following two objectives:
The Employer Wage Subsidy Program for the hard hit industries under three (3) sectors of aviation, tourism and construction. This program is designed to save jobs. The program is driven by the following characteristics:
Employers of affected industries will receive a subsidy based on their total wage bill, driven by an SSC contribution waiver and a cash injection from the state. The aim is to give employers a cash subsidy of 17% of their total wage bill and SSC contribution holiday, or both for a period of three months.
Prospective beneficiary employers should agree not retrench staff for the three (3) months and should not be allowed to reduce staff salaries by more than 50%.
Any benefits to be received should be netted against any claims the employer in question may have received from the state or other forms of compensation (FIDIC or insurance).
The program is designed to potentially assist 7,900 employers employing 65,420 employees. The program is budgeted to receive N$150 million which when combined with the waiver, should equate to ~25% of the total wage bill.
Any amounts left over can be used in the Affected Employees program noted below.
