Persons with disabilities – one billion people – are disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Not only are at a greater risk of contracting COVID-19, but also of developing more severe health conditions.

To ensure disability-inclusive responses, the UN elaborated a Policy Brief in which outlines key actions and recommendations, underling the importance to ensure active participation of persons with disabilities in the decision-making processes.
