各国政府通过各种旨在减少传播和保护被认为处于高风险中的人的措施来应对新冠肺炎危机。本文探讨了这些措施在英国的残疾人的影响，特别侧重于旨在减少和重塑街道和公共空间的使用的措施。我们将英国的措施分为两大类。首先，有一些旨在减少街道和公共空间使用的措施-例如，要求人们呆在家里的规则，除非在严格规定的情况下，以及为临床上被指定为极端“不适合”的人提供具体支持的措施（包括食品交付和优先网上购物）。第二，有一些措施旨在控制人们使用街道和公共空间的行为，例如，关于身体距离和使用面罩的规定。我们探讨与这些类型的措施相关的残疾相关的问题。我们还强调，这场危机为将无障碍和包容更牢固地嵌入我们的街道结构提供了机会，并呼吁重新抵制由能人假设和态度形成的政策和做法。(C)2020年，任作家。由Elsevier Masson SAS代表ALTER协会发布。
Governments have responded to the Covid-19 crisis through various measures designed to reduce transmission and protect people judged to be at heightened risk. This paper explores the implications of such measures in the UK for disabled people, with a particular focus on measures designed to reduce and reshape the use of streets and public space. We divide UK measures into two broad categories. First, there are measures designed to reduce the use of streets and public spaces - e.g., rules requiring people to stay at home except in tightly prescribed circumstances and measures providing specific support (including food delivery and priority online shopping) for people designated as clinically extremely 'vulnerable'. Second, there are measures designed to control the behaviour of people using streets and public space - e.g., rules on t physical distancing and the use of face coverings. We explore the disability-related concerns associated with these types of measure. We also highlight the opportunities this crisis presents for embedding accessibility and inclusion more firmly into the fabric of our streets and call for renewed resistance to policies and practices shaped by ableist assumptions and attitudes.
