This work presents aspects of the reality faced by migrants and refugees through the global pandemic in the year 2020, and the impacts caused to this population in relation to public policies coming from states. The objective is to scrutinize the treatment given to these agents according to the understanding of international human rights treaties. The proposed methodology is descriptive-qualitative, carried out through an integrative literature review. The following databases were used: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, which resulted in a total of 26 articles. As final considerations it was observed that many overcrowded shelters do not have access to drinking water and health services, which causes more vulnerability to infections. In this context, the current situation of refugees due to the pandemic situation of coronavirus, COVID-19, is alarming, due to the absence of public policies, and the orders to close the borders of the countries.
