Strengthening COVID-19 Response in Timor-Leste's Border Communities Phase II (SCRIT-LBC Phase II) Cross-border human mobility has been drastically impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, with border closures and travel restrictions of unparalleled scale. As restrictions begin to ease and governments around the world contemplate removing mobility restrictions and reopening borders, the Government of Timor-Leste needs to take into account how to effectively manage cross-border mobility while safeguarding public health.
