Story of Lili For the Vietnamese migrant Lili, the big‑ gest consequence of the COVID–19 pan‑ demic has been the feeling of loneliness. Lili has been living in Denmark for the last two years. After completing her master’s degree in the coun‑ try, she decided to stay and search for a job. The feeling of loneliness is not solely connected to the absence of her family and friends from her country of origin. “I feel like there is no one I can rely on now. I don’t have like a safety net financially,” she explains. Lili’s feelings of loneliness and frustrations about COVID–19 are made more severe by the fact that her residence status in Denmark is temporary and that she is unemployed. “I always feel like third class citizen here as a non-EU-citizen. I get no support from the system here or my country, I can’t contact them so far,” Lili explains. Story of Abdul Abdul is a refugee from Afghanistan. He is one of the many refugees with temporary documents living in an Indonesian refugee camp. Abdul is suffering from several health prob‑ lems and the COVID–19 pandemic has only exacer‑ bated his situation. His mental health is, therefore, under a lot of pressure and he finds it difficult to keep up hope. “I am suffering from stress and de‑ pression because of my unknown future. I am living as refugee for six years in Indonesia with lots of health problems and less hope. Corona virus just give me more stress and tension.”
