The Covid-19 outbreak that emerged in the world at the end of 2019 turned into a pandemic by affecting the whole world at the beginning of 2020. Measures such as domestic / international travel restrictions, curfew, quarantine implementation, closure of schools / universities, and closure of some workplaces against the Covid-19 pandemic have changed the daily life routines of many people in the world. The mitigation of these measures has been considered due to their social and economic adverse effects. Maintaining the basic principles such as the use of masks, compliance with the social distance rules, paying attention to personal hygiene, and continuing with limited life is almost a new normal. Therefore, normalization processes have started in the countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new type of coronavirus caused a serious public health crisis in early 2020 and virus started to spread rapidly and required serious preventions. Understanding and implementing these preventions may be insufficient in some vulnerable groups. The migrants is one of these groups. Migrants may not be able to adequately understand the suggestions expected to reach the public due to language differences. Some negative living conditions brought by the migration process may make it difficult for them to implement these preventions adequately. Also such as socioeconomic level and legal status can restrict migrants access to healthcare. Especially with regard to infectious diseases and epidemics that require rapid intervention, immigrants' disregard may prevent the measures from achieving their intended purpose. Therefore, immigrant groups should be included in the intervention plans and health strategies of the states. İmmigrants should be made part of the holistic efforts against the COVID-19 epidemic in the general community. It should be ensured that all measures can be taken and implemented for immigrants, regardless of their status and inclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As in the whole world, a comprehensive fight is being fulfilled in our country regarding the COVID-19 disease that emerged in the People's Republic of China and was declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. It remains uncertain whether economic and social life will return to normal globally in the presence of COVID-19, which has a very high rate of transmission and has no cure yet. On the one hand, while preparing for the process which is called "new normal", on the other hand, reducing the economic effects of the outbreak requires the development of new programs. It is important to form social support programs implemented by the state in emergencies such as the COVID-19 outbreak to decrease the economic, social, and psychological effects of the outbreak and to implement it without delay. In this article, it is aimed to give information about the target groups, objectives, and implementation of the social support programs during COVID-19 outbreak. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
