| Abstract | Refugees are among the world's most vulnerable people, and COVID-19 presents novel threats to their well-being. Suspension of resettlement prolongs persecution for those accepted but not yet relocated to a host country and delays family reunification. For new arrivals, pandemic-related modifications to resettlement services impair smooth transitions. Refugees are additionally more vulnerable to economic hardship, COVID-19 infection, and mental illness exacerbations. Communication barriers make telehealth access uniquely difficult, and children lose the school environment that is essential for their adaptation in a new country. Providers can mitigate pandemic-related harms by assessing barriers, disseminating information, and advocating for inclusive policies. |
