1. Enable Roma communities to recover from the pandemic
   All societies still feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the challenges for Roma are particularly acute, say the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) on International Roma Day. Source: FRA
2. COVID-19 vaccine transparency
   Around the globe, countries are under extreme pressure to secure COVID-19 vaccines and deliver them to citizens. Corruption poses serious risks to equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments.

3. Risk factors of exposure to COVID-19 in homeless people in Paris, France
   During the COVID-19 lockdown period from March 17 to May 11, 2020, French authorities in Paris and its suburbs relocated people experiencing recurrent homelessness to emergency shelters, hotels, and large venues. A serological survey was done at some of these locations to assess the COVID-19 exposure prevalence in this group. Source: The Lancet
