COVID-19在人口密集地区的不公平传播，以及慢性病的高患病率或难以获得高质量的公共卫生和医疗保健而导致的缓解能力有限，对穷人、少数民族和广大弱势群体造成了严重影响。此外，由于全球经济衰退以及社会隔离和行动限制措施，这一流行病的附带影响对社会最低权力阶层的人产生了不平等的影响。为了应对卫生公平面临的挑战，并描述政府和地方组织采取的一些方法，我们汇编了来自世界各地的13个国家的案例研究：中国，巴西，泰国，撒哈拉以南非洲，尼加拉瓜，亚美尼亚，印度，危地马拉，美利坚合众国（美国），以色列，澳大利亚，哥伦比亚和比利时。本汇编绝非代表性或包罗万象，我们鼓励研究人员继续推进全球对COVID-19健康公平相关问题的认识，通过严格的研究和该领域新实证研究的强有力证据基础。
The COVID-19 is disproportionally affecting the poor, minorities and a broad range of vulnerable populations, due to its inequitable spread in areas of dense population and limited mitigation capacity due to high prevalence of chronic conditions or poor access to high quality public health and medical care. Moreover, the collateral effects of the pandemic due to the global economic downturn, and social isolation and movement restriction measures, are unequally affecting those in the lowest power strata of societies. To address the challenges to health equity and describe some of the approaches taken by governments and local organizations, we have compiled 13 country case studies from various regions around the world: China, Brazil, Thailand, Sub Saharan Africa, Nicaragua, Armenia, India, Guatemala, United States of America (USA), Israel, Australia, Colombia, and Belgium. This compilation is by no-means representative or all inclusive, and we encourage researchers to continue advancing global knowledge on COVID-19 health equity related issues, through rigorous research and generation of a strong evidence base of new empirical studies in this field.
