Honda Acura			BRAND REPORTS
Sales		COVID-19 Response Initiatives
Sales of Honda and Acura vehicles showed signs of improvement in the final weeks of April, with customer traffic increasing online and in dealer showrooms as state and local authorities eased restrictions on sales activities.		Honda has initiated a significant and comprehensive new effort to harness the spirit of community in responding to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specific initiatives include:

•	Honda and Acura dealers continue to focus on taking care of existing customers through vehicle service, maintenance and repair, while preserving the health and safety of their customers and employees.	•	Honda has teamed up with Dynaflo, Inc. to produce diaphragm compressors, a key component of portable ventilators that are used in hospitals and by first responders to help COVID-19 patients. The companies aim to produce 10,000 compressors per month once production reaches capacity.

•	A number of Honda and Acura dealers remained closed for much of April in compliance with mandates imposed on businesses by state and local authorities.	•	Honda associates have been using 3D printers to produce face shields at various company operations, with Honda engineers now working on a method to mass-produce face shield frames in Honda facilities.

•	Last month, Honda and Acura opened enrollment in new online retailing programs, Shop Simple with Honda and Acura Precision Purchase, and received a tremendous response from Honda and Acura dealers looking for an online retailing solution to meet the needs of our customers.	•	As the COVID-19 pandemic can add financial stress to the lives of our customers, Honda and Acura have offered to help customers who have financed their vehicle through Honda Financial Services or Acura Financial Services with payment extensions and deferrals, as well as available late fee waivers.

•	Honda is providing an industry-first special offer for first responders and medical professionals, out of respect for their contribution to communities across the country.	•	Honda has pledged $1.0 million to address food insecurity in communities across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, providing the most vulnerable with access to food.

Alianza de Impacto Latino, the Ismael Cala Foundation, and the PAHO analyzed Covid-19 risks in Latin America

MIAMI, May 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «Investing in public health systems must be ongoing and extend beyond the Covid-19 pandemic, because that is the only model that can guarantee quality access in every country.» This was one of the conclusions from the virtual event <a target="_blank"…

During the event, Ismael Cala, president of the Ismael Cala Foundation, interviewed Dr. Marcos Espinal, director of the Department of Communicable Diseases and Health Analysis of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Regional Office of the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO).

They discussed the danger of the virus, but also the existence of other problems in the region, such as domestic violence and mental health, which pose a huge risk to the most vulnerable populations.

They also pointed out the risks of living in a globalized world that is heavily affected by the circulation of fake news, and they recommended preventing disinformation through exhaustive verification of sources.

According to data provided by Dr. Espinal, there are currently more than 180 medical studies on Covid-19 under way. However, no recommendations will be made until efficacy is proved.

Regarding a vaccine, there are currently four research trials under way on humans. A vaccine could be ready in October, but even if it is effective production and distribution to all countries will take time.

Finally, the Pan American Health Organization asked governments to be careful in lifting current social distancing measures to avoid a spike in cases.

Hospital capacity and support for those who remain in isolation should be guaranteed, especially in the poorest countries.

Dr. Marcos Espinal is currently the director of the Department of Communicable Diseases and Health Analysis of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Regional Office of the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO). He has worked in matters linked to forgotten, tropical and vector-transmitted diseases, communication of risks and outbreaks, HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis and STDs.

The Ismael Cala Foundation supports the development of emotional leadership and education of children, adolescents and young adults who are in vulnerable positions in Latin America, and of the Hispanic population in the USA. To achieve its mission, the Foundation has created several programs, including the Scholarship Program. Educational institutions, companies, and other organizations involved in social development have joined forces to promote the education and training of young people by channeling scholarships for courses and/or careers for personal and professional improvement, and thus improve their well-being and social progress.

La Alianza de Impacto Latino is an initiative that seeks to encourage the creation of partnerships for the sustainable growth and development of the Americas. It gathers together leaders from all sectors to support Sustainable Development of the Americas. It was created by the PVBLIC and Ismael Cala foundations.

Alianza de Impacto Latino, Fundación Ismael Cala y la OPS analizaron riesgos de Covid-19 en América Latina

MIAMI, 1 de mayo de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «Invertir en los sistemas de salud pública debe convertirse en una constante, más allá de la pandemia de Covid-19, pues será el único modelo que garantizará un acceso de calidad en todos los países». Esta fue una de las conclusiones del evento virtual <a target="_blank"…

En el encuentro, Ismael Cala, presidente de la Fundación Ismael Cala, entrevistó al Dr. Marcos Espinal, director del Departamento de Enfermedades Transmisibles y Análisis de Salud de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), Oficina Regional para las Américas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).

Ambos abordaron la peligrosidad del virus, pero también la existencia de otros problemas en la región, como la violencia de género o la salud mental, que representan un gran riesgo para las poblaciones más vulnerables.

También alertaron sobre los riesgos de vivir en un mundo globalizado, muy afectado por la circulación de noticias falsas, y recomendaron evitar la desinformación a través de la verificación exhaustiva de las fuentes.

Según datos aportados por el Dr. Espinal, en la actualidad existen más de 180 estudios médicos sobre el Covid-19 en proceso. Sin embargo, no hay recomendación de ningún tipo hasta comprobar su eficacia.

En cuanto a la vacuna, hasta el momento existen cuatro proyectos de investigación en humanos. Una vacuna podría estar lista en octubre, pero, aunque resultara efectiva, la producción y distribución a todos los países tomará su tiempo.

Por último, la Organización Panamericana de la Salud, solicitó a los gobiernos ser cuidadosos en la flexibilización de las medidas actuales de aislamiento social, para evitar un rebrote.

Para ello, debería garantizarse la capacidad hospitalaria y el apoyo a las personas que continúan en aislamiento, sobre todo en los países más pobres.

El Dr. Marcos Espinal es actualmente director del Departamento de Enfermedades Transmisibles y Análisis de Salud de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), Oficina Regional para las Américas de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Ha trabajado en temas vinculados a enfermedades olvidadas, tropicales y transmitidas por vectores; comunicación de riesgos y brotes; VIH, hepatitis, tuberculosis e ITS.
