Content_paragraphs:  My Deputy Special Adviser and mission of good offices engaged regularly with 
  
  the two leaders and their representatives, as well as other relevant stakeholders, on 
  
  the current situation and the way forward. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the 
  
  mission put in place contingency plans and thereafter enacted measures to protect the 
  
  health and safety of its staff and its counterparts, restricting face-to-face contact with 
  
  stakeholders and interlocutors, while continuing to work on mandate delivery. 
  
  Although in-person outreach activities were not possible owing to COVID-19 
  
  movement restrictions, the mission’s engagement with civil society actors, women, 
  
  youth and the business community, as well as the ongoing monitoring of political 
  
  developments on the island and in the region, continued via online platforms. 
  
  Reporting and analysis by my good offices mission on possible avenues towards and 
  
  challenges to the resumption of peace talks continued, despite the pandemic.
