Resource: RRN's Research Digest on COVID-19

The Refugee Research Network's latest research digest focuses on "Displacement and COVID-19".  Here is the intro:

"In this special issue we have curated news, material and resources that address the implications of COVID-19 on displacement (populations and policies). The objectives of this effort are to:

  • To learn from the past about epidemics, outbreaks and health among refugee populations.
  • Keep the impact of COVID-19 on displaced populations at the center of public and policy discussions.  
  • Respond to anti-immigration rhetoric during the pandemic and leverage it afterwards.
  • Identify local and global responses and solutions to support refugee communities.
  • Trace resources that can support refugees, sponsors, researchers and frontline workers.
  • Find ways to stay connected through physical distancing."
