Filter Hotels in Mexico, COVID-19 response
Description
During the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters for migrants in the communities of Tijuana and Ciudad Juárez limited their capacity to contain the contagion, leaving newly arrived migrants without accommodation options and exposing them to additional situations of vulnerability and risks. To mitigate these risks, IOM Mexico decided to implement the Filter Hotel, a space for quarantining people under humane conditions.
