The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a booklet entitled “Getting your workforce ready for Covid-19”. The eight-page document is organized by topics and in one of them, it is possible to read as follows:

Promote regular and thorough hand-washing by employees, contractors and customers:

a. Put sanitizing hand rub dispensers in prominent places around the workplace;

b. Make sure these dispensers are regularly refilled;

c. Display posters promoting hand-washing – ask your local public health authority for these or look on www.WHO.int;

d. Combine this with other communication measures such as offering guidance from occupational health and safety officers, briefings at meetings and information on the intranet to promote hand-washing;

e. Make sure that staff, contractors and customers have access to places where they can wash their hands with soap and water;

f. Why? Because washing kills the virus on your hands and prevents the spread of Covid-19.

Lawyers say they can’t find the parents of 545 migrant children separated

by Trump administration By Julia Ainsley and Jacob Soboroff

WASHINGTON — Lawyers appointed by a federal judge to identify migrant families who were separated 2 by the Trump administration say that they have yet to track down the parents of 545 children and that 3 about two-thirds of those parents were deported to Central America without their children, according to 4 a filing Tuesday from the American Civil Liberties Union. 5 The

Trump administration instituted a “zero tolerance” policy in 2018 that separated migrant children 6 and parents at the southern U.S. border. The administration later confirmed that it had actually begun 7 separating families in 2017 along some parts of the border under a pilot program. The ACLU and other 8 pro-bono law firms were tasked with finding the members of families separated during the pilot program. 9 Unlike the 2,800 families separated under zero tolerance in 2018, most of whom remained in custody 10 when the policy was ended by executive order, many of the more than 1,000 parents separated from 11 their children under the pilot program had already been deported before a federal judge in California 12 ordered that they be found.

The socio-cultural implications of Covid-19
By Professor Fethi Mansouri

Worldwide, the Covid-19 response has been largely premised on physical distancing, though this has,
 unfortunately, been discursively referred to in formal and informal discourse as social distancing. There
 is a big difference between the two concepts, with physical distancing not necessarily precluding social
 connectedness, whereas social distancing unavoidably presumes disconnectedness.

[5] But for physical distancing not to also engender social distancing and inter-personal disconnectedness,
 certain societal conditions need to be met and made available indiscriminately. These include, first and
 foremost, access to basic infrastructure such as shelter, internet and basic everyday living needs.
 Sadly, across the world, and even within some developed societies, this has not always been the case.
 Entrenched social inequalities and economic marginalization have resulted in large proportions of the world’s
[10] populations being deprived of the most basic of human needs, let alone the capacity to be physically distant
 while at the same time socially connected and adequately supported to meet living needs.

 The problem of social and economic inequalities are amplifying the challenge of managing the rapid spread
 of Covid-19 globally, but what has also emerged is the systematic racism, particularly against people of
 Asian background, in Western émigré societies. Indeed, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of racist
[15] attacks in many countries. This is not altogether a new phenomenon; a significant existing body of evidence
 shows that at times of crises – be they economic, environmental, security or health-related – minority groups
 are often made scapegoats and are subjected to racist, exclusionary, often violent discourses and practices.

 Covid-19 is already showing us a variety of patterns of racism aimed at Asian people ranging from cyber
 bullying to physical attacks, racist trolling, and a variety of xenophobic conspiracy theories that have been
[20] articulated not only by ordinary citizens but also some politicians and world leaders. None of this serves the
 intercultural dialogue agenda, with its emphasis on cross-cultural contact, mutual understanding, respectful
 engagement and inter-communal solidarity.
