Almost all countries in the world have now enforced coronavirus-related travel restrictions and border shutdowns. Migrant populations in the world are now considered the worst victims of COVID-19, and the spreaders too. This article aims to investigate the impacts that COVID-19 has on population migration. Informal interviews were conducted with the respondents who were stranded in different parts of the world via Skype and WhatsApp between February and November 2020. COVID-19 poses a threat to the millions who were caught between home and their final destinations - and are now living in overcrowded refugee camps where the terms 'stay home' 'stay safe' and 'social distancing' carries very little meaning.
现在,世界上几乎所有国家都实施了与新冠病毒相关的旅行限制和边境关闭措施。如今,全球的移民群体被认为是新冠疫情最严重的受害者,同时也是传播者。本文旨在调查新冠疫情对人口迁移的影响。2020年2月至11月期间,通过Skype和WhatsApp对滞留在世界不同地区的受访者进行了非正式访谈。新冠疫情对数百万被困在故乡和最终目的地之间的人构成了威胁——他们如今生活在过度拥挤的难民营中,在那里,“居家”“保持安全”和“社交距离”这些说法几乎毫无意义。
