Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on Persons with Disabilities and Caregivers
Roughly 1.3 billion persons with disabilities worldwide (80 per cent living in developing countries) are being marginalized by factors related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For the first time in a long time, huge numbers of people are feeling segregated from ‘normal life’ and are being quarantined in homes and hospitals. Due to apparently endless and restrictive lockdown rules, patterns of social isolation and detachment appear far from temporary. The present paper aims to highlight the issues and challenges faced by persons with disabilities and their caregivers during the coronavirus pandemic.

Abstract
Roughly 1.3 billion persons with disabilities worldwide (80 per cent living in developing countries) are being marginalized by factors related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For the first time in a long time, huge numbers of people are feeling segregated from ‘normal life’ and are being quarantined in homes and hospitals. Due to apparently endless and restrictive lockdown rules, patterns of social isolation and detachment appear far from temporary. The present paper aims to highlight the issues and challenges faced by persons with disabilities and their caregivers during the coronavirus pandemic.
