As of 3 June 2020, Laos had 19 confirmed cases of COVID-19 following 7,491 tests; all 19 cases have been declared COVID free after treatment and have since left the medical facilities. The country had been implementing lockdown procedures and physical distancing since 29 March. During the COVID-19 lockdown, the Government of Lao PDR (GoL) made efforts to strictly enforce the prevention measures promulgated, at the national and sub-national levels in all 18 provinces. Only selected officials are considered critical and able to work from offices. The GoL officially (Ref PM 580) eased the nation-wide lockdown from 15th May 2020, however the potential for a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, especially after the international borders re-open in the predictable future remains a very real and daunting possibility.
Despite the limited number of cases in Lao PDR, the outbreak in the region has significantly affected trade, construction, tourism, and other sectors adversely, which also implies a significant impact on the economy.
UNDP’s support to the Government of Lao PDR to address the complex nature of COVID-19 has been and continues to rapidly evolve to meet country demands and is continuously being shaped by global experience and learning.
One area of support includes the potential need for a Quarantine Facility Profile and Registry Dashboard to improve access to information and services related to quarantine and isolation facilities.
