Following a COVID-19 risk evaluation in a refugee and asylum seekers reception center, in September 2020, we considered the priorities of managing COVID-19 in these settings. We encourage actions on four fronts to reduce the COVID-19 associated burden amongst these vulnerable populations based on our interviews, observations and recommendations: (i) decongestion, (ii) facilitated testing, (iii) screening for symptoms and (iv) targeted public health and risk communication.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/COVID-19COVID-19 managementMigrant reception centersAsylum seekersMigrantsRefugeesAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional34952212116108-11010.1016/j.ijid.2021.12.3411878-3511International Journal of Infectious Diseases : IJID : official publication of the International Society for Infectious Diseasesopen access
