Recommendations for the response against COVID-19 in migratory contexts under a closed border: The case of Colombia. Biomed. [online]. 2020, vol.40, suppl.2, pp.68-72.  Epub 12-Nov-2020.

Despite the positive response of Colombia's health system to the arrival of Venezuelan migrants, the new challenges that accompany the COVID-19 pandemic have triggered a closed-borders response that runs the risk of encouraging a negative view of migrants and increasing their health risks.

This manuscript discusses the recommendations that could be proposed in the case of a country with limited resources such as Colombia to respond to the needs of the Venezuelan mixed migrant flows.
