Migrants, asylum seekers and refugees constitute a significant and growing proportion of the population of countries in Europe. While the COVID-19 pandemic rages around the world, there is an indisputable moral case for an inclusive approach that guarantees these groups equal rights with the rest of the population with regard to care and support in crises of all kinds. This publication is intended to give national governments and their counterparts at regional and local levels, civil society organizations, relevant offices in the public and private sectors, and communities, a better understanding of how to support migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in biological disasters and pandemics.
