At today& #39;s @WHO #COVID19 briefing, @DrTedros warns that the stay-at-home orders & restrictions used in high-income countries may not be practical for poor populations, including migrants & refugees.

"How do you survive a lockdown when you depend on your daily labor to eat?"

"Many poor people, migrants and refugees are already living in overcrowded conditions with few resources and little access to health care...News reports from around the world describe how many people are in danger of being left without access to food." - @DrTedros @WHO #COVID19

"We call on all countries to ensure that where stay-at-home measures are used, they must not be at the expense of human rights. Each government must assess their situation, while protecting all their citizens, especially the most vulnerable," - @DrTedros at @WHO #COVID19 briefing.
