About the Event
6th International Conference on Disability and Development : Disability and COVID-19
COVID-19 has dominated global discourse for the last 18 months as the pandemic impacts everyone, everywhere. There is growing evidence that people with disabilities and their families are particularly at risk during the pandemic, in terms of:
increased risk of death and hospitalisation;
exclusion from the COVID-19 response actions (e.g. information and vaccination);
adverse consequences of COVID-19 control activities (e.g. lockdown and social distancing); and
negative impacts on health (e.g. reduction in rehabilitation care).
