This comment from the Lancet explores the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on children in temporary accommodation in the UK and calls on the UK government "to take necessary steps and work collaboratively with all sectors, health services, and the housing sector (eg, possibly use hotels with space availability due to no incoming tourists) to reduce overcrowding and transmission of COVID-19 to protect some of the most vulnerable in our society."
