Information resources on Covid-19 for migrants who live in Italy: an overview on Web communication during the outbreak

Access to online legal and public information is nowadays a key-factor for fully participating in society and this is even more important in times of emergency, like during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. But some categories of users find themselves in situations or conditions such that they may find it difficult to access and understand standard public information. This is the case of migrants who have recently settled in the host society. In Italy, various content on prevention measures and rules have been provided to the general public by public authority websites during the different phases of COVID-19. Some of these were specifically targeted for the audience of migrants. This contribution aims to provide an overview and an initial analysis of the information resources on COVID-19 directed to migrants produced and shared through the Web by Italian public bodies and organizations.
