Similar Stories to Rohingya Refugees Brace For A New Deadly Threat—coronavirus on Bing News

In the largest refugee settlement on earth, we are holding our breath. On March 24, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh confirmed a COVID-19 case. It’s now just a matter of time before the outbreak reaches the nearby camps, where hundreds of thousands of Rohinyga refugees like myself are living. Having already endured a brutal military crackdown and displacement from our homes in Myanmar, we now face the prospect of further, protracted devastation. A vaccine does not yet exist and could take a year or more to become available, meaning that the scourge of COVID-19 could circulate in the bustling confines of the camps for months. Social distancing, self-isolation and quarantine are fantasies for Rohingya refugees like me.
