61. 全球 COVID-19 大流行造成的挑战影响了余留机制履行授权的记录管理和存档职能。尽管有种种挑战，余留机制继续开展工作，通过调整工作方法、流程和时间表来管理两个分支机构的记录和档案，以实现安全、高效率和高成效的现场和远程操作。为实现这一目标，余留机制引入了轮换时间表，使工作人员在遵守卫生和社交距离要求的同时，继续进行必要的现场活动。此外，通过利用强化的信息技术基础设施进行安全的远程工作，本构成部分继续保存实物和数字档案并提供档案查阅服务，并将中断时间降至最低。
61. The challenges arising from the global COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on the implementation of the Mechanism’s mandated records management and archiving functions. Despite those challenges, the Mechanism continued its work to manage records and archives at both branches by modifying working methods, processes and schedules to enable safe, efficient and effective on-site and remote operations. It achieved this by introducing a rotational schedule, which allowed staff to continue essential on-site activities while adhering to hygiene and social distancing requirements. Also, by making use of enhanced information technology infrastructure for secure remote working, the component continued to preserve and provide access to both the physical and digital archives with minimal interruption.
