This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

T he COVID-19 pandemic has brought to stark relief, and further exacerbated, social disparities, including those experienced by disabled people, a global population of over 1 billion people, according to 2010 global population estimates [1]. Disabled people experience entrenched structural disadvantage, including barriers to accessing health care, increased poverty, lower employment, and lower education levels, in comparison to the general population [1].
