Yemen ends school year early due to coronavirus outbreak http://archive.fo/RhUdc#selection-433.1-433.57

As of June 18, Yemeni authorities reported 909 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 248 deaths in areas under its control. The de facto administration has reported only a few cases in Sana’a. The UN expressed concerns on large undetected spreading of the disease in Yemen. The ongoing spread of COVID-19 could be devastating for Yemen as the possibility of rapid spread of the virus will be confronted with a poor health system that has already collapsed. After five years of conflict, the country is facing a humanitarian crisis already, with severely damaged health and general infrastructure. UN estimates that only half of the health centers in Yemen are fully functional, and there are limited testing facilities in a collapsed health system. The cease fire initiated by the Saudi-led coalition government since April 9, has ended, with some early signs of conflict escalation. The UN response to the COVID-19 crisis is hampered by the conflict. Mosques have been closed and shops and restaurants in Aden were closed following the news of the first outbreak in Aden, but quickly reopened on fears of food shortages. Reopening of the economy. Yemen started to see the number of COVID-19 cases to increase significantly in the past few weeks with a growing number of governorates reporting new cases. The government efforts and measures are still focus on the containment phase, in the context of the conflict. Key Policy Responses as of June 18, 2020 FISCAL Government created a commission to deal with COVID-19 issues more than a month ago. Ministry of Health has provided medical equipment to quarantine centers in some governorates. The ministry of Health has received some respirators and medical safety tools from the World Bank, through the World Health Organization. The government has allocated some limited budget resources to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. MONETARY AND MACRO-FINANCIAL No measures. EXCHANGE RATE AND BALANCE OF PAYMENTS No measures. The Saudi government has offered to contribute with US$ 500 million to the UN for the humanitarian response, and US$ 25 million to fight the spread of the coronavirus. The United States announced it will provide $225 million in emergency aid through the UN World Food Program. Humanitarian programs are largely underfunded. http://archive.fo/YNXW7

The government has announced a proposal to resume international flights, but no indication has followed regarding permitted nationals/changes in border controls. It is thus assumed that the ban on entry continues as commercial flight operations attempt to resume: "Yemeni Supreme National Emergency Committee said in a statement that "the Yemeni government approved a proposal for resuming commercial flights to the country starting Wednesday, July 15." The decision was made at a government meeting chaired by Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik. It placed some conditions that request adherence to the preventive and precautionary measures declared previously." http://archive.fo/aDrGq
