Overview
COVID-19 is one of such viral infectious diseases posing great challenges to humanity across the globe, testing the ability of host governments and refugee agencies to contain the pandemic and protect lives of refugees in and out of the camps. As healthcare and support systems are proving to be susceptible to the impact of COVID-19 and emergency health care responses of countries to their citizens are challenged, we can speculate how difficult the provisioning of medical services will be for refugees and for those engaged in refugee care and protection. Given the travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders issued by governments to contain and curtail the spread of the virus, refugees are likely to be impacted by such measures.
