New paper: COVID-19: How do you self-isolate in a refugee camp?

Emmanuel Raju and his peers have publiwshed a new paper on xxx journal titled "bla bla bla" in this Journal. They talk about the increasing risk of heatwaves in refugee camp and their adverse impact on health. 

Abstract: 

"Over the last few months, we have seen how COVID-19 crossed administrative and national boundaries at the speed of fire—leaving nobody untouched. We believe that lessons learned from previous research investigating the relationships between disasters, social inequalities and how health determinants may exacerbate vulnerability will be key to overcoming the COVID-19 crisis (Quinn and Kumar 2014; Hopman and Allegranzi 2020). The reported mortality rate exceeded 200,000 this week, and the news headlines so far mainly describe ‘western’ end-of-life-stories of elderly or people with pre-existing health conditions. However, what will happen now that the pandemic has entered ultra-vulnerable places such as refugee camps and informal settlements in the global south?"
