The Logistics Cluster is closely monitoring the current outbreak of novel coronavirus. This page has been established to share the latest logistics information related to the outbreak response and provide a platform for partners to exchange information on logistics gaps and needs. The Logistics Cluster team will also upload key documents related to logistics activities in pandemic emergencies , as they become available. The current guide available under Key Documents was produced in 2017, and provides an overview of downstream logistics in pandemics. For specific details related to this virus, the World Health Organization is providing daily updates and technical guidance here.
