Experience and Discussion: Safeguards for People With Disabilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic in China

The special vulnerability of people with disability (PWD) in the COIVD-19 pandemic has been confirmed by many studies, but data shows that the infection rate of PWD in China is lower than for non-disabled people. We believe that this difference can be attributed to the Chinese government's targ...

The professionalism of decision-makers and the maintenance of channels of interaction with PWD are also important.

This system, which has six components (governance, prevention, response, knowledge, coordination, and people), enables the country to quickly formulate a series of safeguards for PWD that have a sufficient legal basis. We believe that China's rapidly improving public health policy and legal framework will make a hugely significant impact by alleviating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the PWD community. Countries should pay more attention to discovering the special needs and obstacles of PWD in the COIVD-19 pandemic: in referring to China's experience, they should explore the protection framework for persons with disabilities and adjust it to their own needs on the basis of national conditions.Fei QiYuqi WuQi WangFrontiers Media S.A.articleCOVID-19 pandemicdisability empowermenthealthcare discriminationpeople with disabilityinteractive decision-making systemvaccine distributionPublic aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENFrontiers in Public Health, Vol 9 (2021)
