COVID-19 Response Needs to Target Rural Communities

As societies attempt to contain COVID-19, millions have sought to avoid the high living cost and perilous density of the metropolis. Throughout the world, migrant workers have been forced to flood out of cities and return to their homes in the countryside following government-initiated lockdowns aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. However, as governments seek to curb the disease and address the socio-economic implications of the lockdowns, the plight of rural communities has been overlooked. Even as governments struggle to check the outbreak in cities amid the easing of months-long lockdowns, there is a need for policy that targets rural areas.
