Abstract

This is a Current Issue because, at the time of writing, COVID-19 has affected many countries and territories worldwide and Iran ranked early on as one of the most seriously affected countries. As a result, this pandemic crisis poses a considerable challenge to people with disabilities in Iran. In this short article we show the different challenges people with disabilities are facing during the COVID emergency in Iran. In addition, we provide several recommendations, based on our perspective and experience in Rehabilitation and Health Policy Centres, to improve the situation in the content of the COVID-19 breakout.
