As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, questions of who has been most affected and where interventions should be targeted increasingly recognise the disproportionate and long-standing health inequities faced by racialised communities (a social construct describing groups that have racial meanings associated with them that affect their economic, political, and social lives) and migrant communities in many settings.[1] By migrants, we refer to a broad diversity of people born in other countries, including long-term and recent arrivals, refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants, and undocumented migrants. Labour and immigration policy interventions are also needed globally to address precarious conditions for migrants and affirm their human and labour rights, which are closely connected. To advance human and labour rights during the pandemic, and beyond, it is incumbent upon governments and policy makers in migration destination contexts to implement intersectoral, equity-oriented immigration and labour interventions.
