39. On 5 March 2020, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Somalia formed a “One UN” COVID-19 task force with representation from UNSOM, UNSOS, the United Nations country team and AMISOM, with the Director of UNSOS designated as the coordinator of the task force. The task force comprised 63 persons divided into four clusters (medical, logistics, communications and policy/ human resources) with an executive body. On 17 March the Special Representative, as the crisis manager, activated the United Nations Somalia crisis management framework and subsumed the task force structure into an executive crisis management team in order to provide the task force with more resources while ensuring leadership, direction and oversight. AMISOM was also integrated into the Somalia crisis management structure and mirrored the United Nations COVID-19 response and preventive measures. Social distancing measures included: the implementation of takeaway-only service from food outlets, the restriction of meetings with external partners, the removal of access to shops and the distribution of personal protective equipment. UNSOS was invited to participate in the host country’s COVID-19 task force and established a relationship with the national laboratory for COVID-19 testing.
