The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact on many more people in the East & Horn of Africa. Migrants, including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), are among some of the world’s most vulnerable communities likely to be affected by the disease. Migrant groups and communities are more likely to be exposed to the conditions and circumstances in which COVID-19 spreads, which includes living in poorer and makeshift conditions, or overcrowded settings. Migrant groups are also less likely to have access to medical care and hygiene, and access to COVID-19 preventative measures such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and COVID-19 vaccines.
