RISK COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
A guide to preventing and addressing social stigma associated with COVID-19
Social stigma in the context of health is the negative association between a person or group of people who share certain characteristics and a specific disease. In an outbreak, this may mean people are labelled, stereotyped, discriminated against, treated separately, and/or experience loss of status because of a perceived link with a disease.
The current COVID-19 outbreak has provoked social stigma and discriminatory behaviours against people of certain ethnic backgrounds as well as anyone perceived to have been in contact with the virus.
Mental Health Considerations during COVID-19 Outbreak
These mental health considerations were developed by the Mental Health Department as support for mental and psychological well-being during COVID-19 outbreak.
