The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that communities should have a voice, be informed and engaged, and participate in this transition phase.
We propose ten considerations to support these WHO principles: (1) implement a phased approach to a ‘new normal’; (2) balance individual rights with the social good; (3) prioritise people at highest risk of negative consequences;
(4) provide special support for healthcare workers and care staff; (5) build, strengthen and maintain trust; (6) enlist existing social norms and foster healthy new norms; (7) increase resilience and self-efficacy; (8) use clear and positive language;
9) anticipate and manage misinformation; and (10) engage with media outlets.
The #COVID19 transition phase should also be informed by real-time data according to which governmental responses should be updated.
