The guidance documents and fact sheets about COVID-19 available on this page are designed to provide practical information and strategies to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak for people living in low- and middle-income countries who have found that much of the guidance developed by global health researchers has not:

• provided clear information about the virus itself or an explanation why certain infection control measures have been implemented;
• reflected the social, economic, or household realities for people outside of North America and Europe, and
• offered information or suggested actions that individuals and local household find helpful.

Working in collaboration with collaboration with faith-based and civil society partners, both here in the United States and globally, the Interfaith Health Program has developed the following documents that reflect sound public health practice while trying to be relevant to different cultural contexts.
