Abstract

Public health responses to Covid-19 have varied globally with some countries including New Zealand and India adopting total lockdown while other countries are taking a more liberal approach to restrictions. In response to Covid-19 the Australian government has enhanced telehealth and the impact of the 'Stay at Home' message has raised concerns that people with chronic health problems are not attending their general practitioners as normal. Engagement with CALD communities and the management of chronic health conditions can be difficult at the best of times with 'Stay at Home' directions potentially further isolating them and increasing health disparities.
