As the world responds to the unprecedented global public health emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, who are often excluded from health systems and living in informal contexts, or in detention/reception centres, face much greater challenges.

As part of the Lancet Migration network and the ‘Migration and Covid-19 Working Group’ we contribute to the discussion across regions on this topic; collate academic resources on the topic; and produce and disseminate relevant expert public health evidence around migration and Covid19.

To this end, we currently produce a country situational report for Germany to feed into a global overview coordinated by the Executive Director of Lancet Migration at the University College London.
