00:00:03,086 --> 00:00:05,005
When COVID first hit,
2
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:08,675
most countries were very unprepared
for the scale of the pandemic.
3
00:00:09,092 --> 00:00:12,512
A common response was to close our borders
and quarantine people.
4
00:00:13,930 --> 00:00:17,267
Obviously, when in a place
like Southern Africa, where we have people
5
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:21,563
moving across borders all the time,
this created a number of challenges.
6
00:00:21,563 --> 00:00:22,897
And then you've also got challenges
7
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:27,694
related to trade and industry,
even aid transporting across borders.
8
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:31,197
People come across the border
to access health services, education, etc.
9
00:00:31,489 --> 00:00:34,743
In a time of a pandemic outbreak
such as COVID,
10
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:38,580
we needed to have better
emergency responses at that border.
11
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:43,001
We needed to build the capacity
of all stakeholders, immigration,
12
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:46,129
peace services, etc., to identify people
13
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:50,842
who might be coming into the country
with a communicable disease such as COVID.
14
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:54,220
The Global Border Health
Team has what we call
15
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:58,016
our master training program,
which is a curriculum
16
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:01,936
that's two weeks long,
if it were completed in its entirety.
17
00:01:02,353 --> 00:01:05,899
However, we worked with the South African
National Department of Health
18
00:01:06,107 --> 00:01:10,653
to identify which pieces or topics
from that curriculum
19
00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:15,575
that they were most interested
in training their own staff on.
20
00:01:16,659 --> 00:01:17,285
And you as
21
00:01:17,285 --> 00:01:20,872
CDC coming to the National Department
of Health and saying,
22
00:01:21,372 --> 00:01:23,458
we want to partner with you
23
00:01:23,958 --> 00:01:27,712
and we want to roll out
training in your space
24
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:30,757
regarding border health,
which would also ensure
25
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:34,928
that your port health officials
are part of this training, assisted us
26
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:39,099
that we were
then able to confidently go ahead
27
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:43,853
and then engage with the various
stakeholders who worked outside
28
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:49,859
of the points of entry and sign
our various MOUs and even to assist us
29
00:01:49,859 --> 00:01:53,446
to enhance our public health
emergency response plans.
30
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:57,158
So while the training only targeted
port health officials,
31
00:01:57,575 --> 00:02:01,621
it armed them with the ability or capacity
to be able to train
32
00:02:01,913 --> 00:02:05,792
others at their points of entry
on how to help with preparedness
33
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,128
for and response to a public health event.
34
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:12,423
Because they serve as kind
of the first line of defense for a country
35
00:02:12,924 --> 00:02:17,345
in terms of being able to identify
potentially ill passengers
36
00:02:17,345 --> 00:02:17,971
that are passing
37
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:21,933
through the point of entry in order
to ensure that those people can get
38
00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:26,729
care as they need it, to then also prevent
the further spread of disease
39
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:30,441
within their own borders
or externally outside of their borders.
40
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:33,862
And because
this was an emergency response,
41
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:35,780
because of the way that we approached
42
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:39,909
COVID, we ended up with a lot of people
just static in one place.
43
00:02:39,909 --> 00:02:43,037
And the SOPs now enabled that movement
44
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:47,375
and enable people
to safely cross borders, to safely travel,
45
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:52,046
and for groups to move across
borders safely in a controlled manner
46
00:02:52,046 --> 00:02:55,592
that didn't contribute
to the further spread of COVID.
