The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about important public health officials from many countries making unprecedented decisions which have had significant impacts on people’s lives. The International Federation of Hard of Hearing People (IFHOH), International Federation of Hard of Hearing Young People (IFHOHYP), The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) and its youth section, the World Federation of the Deaf Youth Section (WFDYS) welcome measures taken to ensure public safety. Facial coverings and social distancing are two common protection strategies that pose barriers for deaf and hard of hearing people.
