RAMIREZ VARELA, Francisco. Incidence of COVID-19 and the Social Vulnerability of Migrants in Chile. Migr. Inter [online]. 2022, vol.13, rmiv1i12472.  Epub 17-Feb-2023. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2479.

The global social and health crisis as a result of COVID-19 exposes the social vulnerability of the migrant population. The purpose is to carry out an analysis of the confirmed coronavirus cases between March to July 2020 in Chile, and the incidence of these among the migrant population, considering social and health conditions and multidimensional poverty rates. The data analyzed not only reflects vulnerability to the pandemic but also shows the hidden realities of migration processes and new challenges to this population. The information has been collected through the Transparency Act and the Sub-Secretariat of Health. Since this information is not public and disaggregated, it represents a limitation when making political, social, and health decisions for the benefit of the migrant population.

Palabras llave : 1. migrants; 2. social vulnerability; 3. COVID-19; 4. pandemic; 5. Chile..
