The virus was confirmed to have reached Benin in March 2020. Quotes As part of the response to COVID-19, you have always stood by us, partnering with the Government in implementing the interventions outlined in the contingency plan developed to combat this pandemic. I would like to reiterate the deep appreciation that the Government of the Republic of Benin and the Ministry of Health have for our cooperation with UNICEF. UNICEF teams in Benin are mobilized to support the Government in the fight against COVID-19 through community surveillance, providing equipment to treatment sites and laboratories, implementing prevention measures through hygiene promotion, and also in the areas of communication, continuity of education and social protection External links Benin
