As of 15 May, over 4.2 million confirmed cases and over 294,000 deaths have been reported
globally since the outbreak began. Confirmed cases have been reported in more than 200 countries/territories/areas, with new cases and countries reporting daily.
Movement restrictions, which totaled 61,769 as of 14 May, are directly shaping the lives of people all over the world. While some governments and authorities have begun efforts to ease blanket travel restrictions and develop targeted reopening plans, as evidenced by the introduction of new exceptions to enable mobility for certain nationalities or groups, stringent medical measures and requirements before, upon or after entry remain in place. However, as national and local authorities continue to adjust their border policies based on local needs, many find themselves faced with a new set of challenges and vulnerabilities, increasing their need for humanitarian support. More details on this can be found in the recent Mobility Restrictions Overview.
In migrant camps, camp-like settings, reception centers and dormitories, there are increasing reports of confirmed cases and a heightened risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19 due to overcrowding, inadequate sanitation, poor nutrition, and limited access to health care facilities.
