"Statelessness in the COVID-19 pandemic"

Millions of people have no nationality and are being overlooked in the response to COVID-19.
There  are  several  ways  that  you  can  become stateless. You could have your nationality   revoked.   Perhaps   your   father has disappeared, and you live in a place which does not permit mothers to  pass  on  their  nationality.  Perhaps  your  country  of  origin  has  broken  up  or  been  otherwise  transformed.  Thousands   of   residents   of   Kuwait   were  not  granted  citizenship  after  the  Gulf  state  gained  independence  from  the  UK  in  1961.  After  the  dissolution  of   the   Soviet   Union,   Estonia   and   Latvia  demanded  that  ethnic  Russians  living   within   their   borders   pass   a   language  test  to  become  citizens.
