The current outbreak of COVID 19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions and restrictions. To better understand how COVID 19 affects global mobility, IOM has developed a global mobility database to map and gather data on the locations, status and different restrictions at PoEs globally. This report looks at data for countries in the South Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe and Central Asia (SEEECA) region. It also looks at the impacts on stranded migrants and other populations such as tourists who are affected by the changes in mobility measures using a compilation of inputs from multiple sources, including from IOM staff in the field DTM reports on flow monitoring and mobility tracking as well as from trusted media sources. IOM has assessed 4 809 total locations including PoEs internal transit points, areas of interest and sites with population of interest in 176 countries, territories and areas as of May 2020 At the same time, i n the SEEECA region, 802 locations in 19 countries, territories and areas (C/T/ were assessed.
