KCSF has continuously monitored the situation amid the spread of the COVID-19 / Coronavirus, including the WHO pandemic status announcement and the Government of Kosovo precautionary measures taken. On the other hand, although limited, studies and analyzes to date considering the responses to Coronavirus and similar epidemics in the past show that limiting “social interaction” is the most effective preventive measure that has a direct effect on minimizing affected and fatal cases.

For this reason, KCSF has decided to take action to cope with this situation by closing the office and working mainly online, to minimize direct interaction between employees/third parties, except when necessary. Our offices will be closed until April 30th, 2020.

Also, given the limited guidance by relevant authorities on related workplace measures and the lack of resources, KCSF encourages all civil society organizations that may consider similar measures to utilize the detailed KCSF document which can be downloaded below
