Abstract

Objectives This study examined knowledge and
perceptions of COVID-19, prevalence of pre-existing
conditions and access to essential resources among
residents of internally displaced person (IDP) camps in
Somalia, where overcrowded settlements with weakened
infrastructure, inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene
facilities, and limited access to health services make
this vulnerable population particularly susceptible to a
COVID-19 outbreak.
