All countries, Libya included, are facing the deadly pandemic of COVID-19. COVID-19 is a virus that causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and shortness of breath.

Based on practical experiences from several countries, the NCUSLR publishes a “Best Practices” paper to give the people in Libya, in other countries in the region and in other heavily affected locations – from individuals to companies to municipalities and up to the state level – some proven recommendations what to do. The paper focuses not so much on medical recommendations, as those are available from several health care authorities, but more on the general organizational level of the fight against the Virus.

As long as there are no vaccines available, those non-pharmaceutical / organizational measures are frequently key.
Please be aware, these best practices do not supersede any of the guidance or directions by your Government and your authorities! Feel free to distribute this important information further on.
