Societal Impact
ОглавлениеCOVID-19 has severely affected many communities. In particular, vulnerable communities with entrenched poverty, limited employment flexibility, and overcrowded housing faced significant challenges. The health and economic impacts of the virus are being borne disproportionately by poor people. They continue to affect the most vulnerable populations, including older citizens, disabled people, youth, and Indigenous people. Other people at a disadvantage include the homeless, who are more exposed to the danger of the virus in tent camps and other close quarters. Similarly, refugees and migrants also stand to suffer from the pandemic and its aftermath.
