UNICEF responding to COVID-19 in India
India has been affected by a new and devastating wave of COVID-19 cases. UNICEF is working with partners to support the response.
This recent increase is a reminder that the pandemic is far from over and will continue to pose a threat to all of us if we stop working together and take life-saving prevention measures to contain it.
UNICEF continues to work with partners to:
- improve access to life-saving oxygen by supplying and installing oxygen generation facilities in hospitals to treat severe and critical cases of COVID-19,
- by providing rapid and accurate testing machines in some of the most important districts
- affected to weather this storm and prevent further disruption of public relations and services for children.
Working with partners, UNICEF has sent additional key life-saving materials, such as face shields and surgical masks, to keep frontline workers safe while they work 24/7 and respond to the surge in cases. In May 2021, UNICEF delivered 8.5 million three-layer masks and 1.75 million face shields nationwide.
