社会工作专业比其他任何专业都更容易受到肆虐的冠状病毒（又名COVID-19）大流行的伤害，因为这场灾难对社会服务不足和被低估的人群产生了有害影响。更重要的是，这一流行病破坏了该行业对社会正义和人权的历史价值承诺，同时推翻了我们对人际关系重要性的坚持。本文旨在阐述社会工作与COVID-19疫情之间的关系。报告注意到，在全球讨论这一流行病时，该专业保持了令人震耳欲聋的沉默，但报告主张，如果我们的专业要在目前生命损失和人权受到威胁的情况下实现重要的公共价值，我们就必须紧急采取对策。我们的专业行动的战略，在平坦的传染曲线，是奠定了。
The social work profession, more than any other, is most hurt by the rampaging coronavirus (aka, COVID-19) pandemic given the scourge's pernicious impact on society's underserved and undervalued populations. More so, the pandemic has undermined the profession's historical value commitment to social justice and human rights while overturning our insistence on the importance of human relationships. The purpose of this essay is to explicate the nexus between social work and COVID-19 pandemic. While noting the deafening silence of the profession in the global discourse of the pandemic, it advocates for the urgency of our response if our profession is to attain significant public value amid the current loss of lives and threats to human rights. Strategies for our professional action, in flattening the curve of the contagion, are laid out.
