With the aim to protect the health of refugees and staff, and in line with social distancing requirements established by the Government of India, most UNHCR services will continue being carried out remotely by telephone.
- UNHCR premises are currently not open and most RSD activities will be carried out by phone;
- To ensure social distancing, only applicants with appointments will be attended when the premises reopen;
