Content_paragraphs:  UNMISS force and United Nations police operations within and outside the 
  
  protection of civilians sites were refocused to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 
  
  transmission and comply with government restrictions. Following the confirmation 
  
  of a case within the Bentiu protection of civilians site in mid-May, the force and police 
  
  components minimized their face-to-face interactions while maintaining surveillance 
  
  and communications remotely. They continued to carry out mounted patrols around 
  
  the weapons-free zones and maintained a presence at entry points. A quick reaction 
  
  force remained on standby and United Nations police intervened when violence 
  
  necessitated entry to protect women from sexual violence or to safeguard 
  
  humanitarian activities.
