Article Synopsis
- In March 2020, the French government imposed a strict 8-week home lockdown to combat COVID-19, impacting various regions including Reunion Island, which has significant social inequalities.
- A study was conducted via a telephone survey involving 892 adults to assess the effects of the lockdown on social inequalities in health (SIH) within the Reunionese population.
