Police will react more promptly in crisis situations due to the Intranet system, to be developed with UNDP support

Alongside doctors and other professionals, Police has one of the basic roles in managing crisis situations, like the one caused by COVID-19 spread. To intervene promptly and efficiently, police officers would also need an internal communication and collaboration tool. Such communication will be ensured in the future through an Intranet system, which will link all those approximatively 9,000 police employees in one single network. The feasibility study for the future system is developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with the financial support provided by the U.S. Government.

Press Release
"It's my right to have an active protected sex life during pandemic. And the delivery of PrEP services at home has brought psychological relief and reduced anxiety of being infected with HIV"

Since March 17, when the state of emergency was declared in the Republic of Moldova due to COVID-19, Mihai locked down at home. He is an IT specialist, therefore working from home has not thwarted his daily routine. His anxiety, however, was caused by the inability to go out to take HIV pre-exposure prevention (PrEP). Mihai has been receiving PrEP since September 2019. Although he has a permanent partner, he says taking PrEP feels safe.
