Update
Obviously, these are different and difficult times, PQW teams have not been able to travel internationally. I have travelled domestically by vehicle acquiring materials for various projects awaiting international shipping. In preparation for resuming international travel, I have done some research on what other NGOs and our insurance are using as criteria for international travel. I have found a RISK FACTOR for international travel published by the Department of State and endorsed by the CDC. The RISK FACTOR, from what I understand, looks not only at the COVID-19 Pandemic but the country’s healthcare system and such issues as civil unrest due to food supply interruptions. The RISK FACTOR ranges from 0 which is “No Risk” to 5 which is an “Active War Zone”. The present RISK FACTOR dated March 21st is 4. Most NGOs say a RISK FACTOR of less than 3 would be acceptable. Thus international travel is not imminent.
