Why might someone blame or avoid individuals and groups (create stigma) because of COVID-19?
section_content: People in the U.S. may be worried or anxious about friends and relatives who
are living in or visiting areas where COVID-19 is spreading. Some people are
worried about getting the disease from these people. Fear and anxiety can lead
to social stigma, for example, toward people who live in certain parts of the
world, people who have traveled internationally, people who were in
quarantine, or healthcare professionals.
Stigma is discrimination against an identifiable group of people, a place, or
a nation. Stigma is associated with a lack of knowledge about how COVID-19
spreads, a need to blame someone, fears about disease and death, and gossip
that spreads rumors and myths.
Stigma hurts everyone by creating more fear or anger toward ordinary people
instead of focusing on the disease that is causing the problem.
