 The coronavirus reached South America later than other regions, but it now concentrates 87% of all cases in Latin America. We have recently launched a strategic preparedness and response plan seeking more than $21 million dollars to alleviate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the most vulnerable migrants and host communities in South America. Restricted human mobility measures such as lockdowns and closure of borders have caused thousands of migrants to lose their jobs, causing negative effects on their incomes and remittances, especially in informal settlements. The COVID-19 pandemic is affected everyone, but migrants, especially those in an irregular situation, are facing a high risk of being left behind. Funding is thus urgently needed, especially in South America, a region already affected by the outflow of refugees and migrants from Venezuela. We are grateful to our donors, like the US government, which recently contributed $2.7 million dollars to our regional plan. Yet much more resources are needed to scale up our COVID-19 response. And this is the only way we can address the immediate needs of vulnerable migrants and host communities in South America. We call for urgent support from the entire donor community. We are all in this together.
