Many people have stopped donating blood during the Coronavirus crisis.

"I want you to know that donating blood is safe," @Surgeon_General Jerome Adams says.

In Norway, Prime Minister Erna Solberg just held a press conference specifically for children.

For half an hour, she and her team answered questions submitted by kids across the country.

She told them it was normal to be scared but that everything would be okay.

@RCRCViCE @ifrc Awesome initiative, congrats!!!

I think it is very very important do not forget as essential for every volunteer, the training and the context knowledge.

The t-shirts as a way to improve visibility is great, in fact necessarily, if a tabard is not available.

Best regards

In 2015, the #RCRC Movement committed to the protection of #Humanitarian Volunteers. But still, there is a long way to go to make sure #volunteers can engage in a safe way. What are the @ifrc and and National Societies about it? What else should be done? Let's talk at #RCRC19 !

Volunteers are key humanitarian actors in conflicts and emergencies. Yet, we know very little about their experiences and needs. We want to address this knowledge gap. Would you like to know more? Visit us at #rcrc19 - CICG, level 2! @ifrc @ICRC @UNVolunteers @NorthumbriaUni

We’ve learned that there are some people not affiliated w/ @cruzrojacol & @CruzRojaVe wearing Red Cross emblems at Colombia-#Venezuela & Brazil-Ven border.
We urge them to stop doing this. They might mean well but they risk jeopardizing our neutrality, impartiality & independence
