The COVID pandemic raises concerns within the Deaf-blind community over the lack of healthcare access.

Information about shifting health protocols related to personal COVID-19 precautions have been made accessible for people who are blind and people who are Deaf or hard of hearing, but not for people who are both Deaf and blind.

Many states do not name Deaf-blind interpreters as essential workers, and other accommodations are cut off, which leaves many people in the community severely isolated.
