3/4 of the 🌍’s refugees & many migrants are hosted in developing regions where health systems are already overwhelmed & under-capacitated, & live in:
-overcrowded camps
-settlements
-make-shift shelters
-reception centers
where they lack access to health services, clean 🚰 & 🚽.
The situation for refugees & migrants held in formal & informal places of detention, in cramped & unsanitary conditions, is particularly worrying. Considering the lethal consequences a #COVID19 outbreak would have, they should be released without delay. https://bit.ly/2wUAEOD 
#COVID19 can be controlled only if there is an inclusive approach which protects every individual’s rights to life & health. Migrants and refugees are disproportionately vulnerable to exclusion, stigma and discrimination, particulary when undocumented.
