As COVID-19 has spread across the globe, quarantines and sheltering-in-place orders have become important public health tools but, as currently implemented, have eroded human rights, particularly for the marginalized, including essential workers, detainees, women, and children. Quarantines and sheltering-in-place orders must include explicit guarantees of human rights protections. We outline protections for the quarantined that communities and governments should strive to guarantee.
随着 COVID-19 在全球范围内的传播,隔离和就地避难令已成为重要的公共卫生工具,但就目前的实施情况来看,这些措施已经侵犯了人权,尤其是边缘化人群的人权,包括基本工人、被拘留者、妇女和儿童。隔离和就地避难令必须包括明确的人权保护保障。我们概述了社区和政府应努力保障被隔离者的保护措施。
