<p>It is not currently possible to undertake resettlement activity due to the impact
of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. However, we are working on detailed plans
to recommence resettlement arrivals as soon as it is safe and operationally viable
to do so.</p><p>The resumption of refugee resettlement arrivals, including community
sponsorship, remains dependent on a number of factors including: the lifting of restrictions
imposed by the governments of those countries and in the UK; the ability of our international
partners to operate; the reopening of the UK’s visa application centres; local authority
and central government capacity in light of COVID-19; and recovery of the asylum system
from the impact of COVID-19.</p><p>We continue to closely monitor the situation and
remain in regular dialogue with our international and domestic stakeholders.</p>
