The results indicate that access to the program promoted better health access for eligible migrants, facilitating adherence to prevention guidelines and increasing detection rates. Additionally, eligible migrants had better housing and labor conditions, relative to non-eligible migrants.enCC BY 3.0 IGOREFUGEE RESILIENCEREFUGEE PANDEMIC OUTCOMESREGULARIZATION OF MIGRANTSFORCED MIGRATIONCOVID 19 IMPACTAMNESTIESWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-10291
