Discrimination During COVID-19 affected by the pandemic.2 However, the package focused mostly on relief and revitalization for individuals. The community landscape improvement measure was the only measure that aimed to improve the overall community infrastructure and environment, 3 and even this should be evaluated for its effectiveness and goals in accordance with General Recommendation No. 23 and the Indigenous Peoples Basic Law , which state that community representatives should be invited to participate in the review of such measures. 4. The NHRC also observes that there were cases of discriminatory acts or comments against indigenous peoples during the pandemic. In one case, an indigenous elder who entered a convenience store and who did not understand the real name registration process (for COVID prevention purposes) was subjected to verbal abuse by another customer, who said, “(I will) call the police if you don’t bow 90 degrees...indigenous people think they’re so much better than everyone else...indigenous people are all spoiled rotten!” He even videotaped and posted the incident online. Meanwhile, some local governments oversimplified and blamed the spread of the pandemic on cultural traditions and customs of the indigenous peoples. Although pandemic control and prevention policies have since changed, government agencies should continue to address the policy information gap and the gap in medical resources between urban and rural areas. The authorities need to formulate and promote improvement measures to prevent similar situations in the future. 2 The document, which can be found in the Severe Pneumonia with Novel Pathogens section on the Chinese version of the CIP’s official website, indicates that the planned relief measures included: 1.
