Abstract: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe damage to socio-economic activities, leading to a deep recession in the global economy. Most countries haveresponded quickly and have attempted to support the labour market and socio-economicconditions through unprecedented policy packages since the beginning of the crisis toreduce the economic shock and support workers. The analysis showed that the pandemichad affected all migration forms, including labour and return migration. On the other hand,the return migration accelerated the spread of the virus. The current study aims to assess therelationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and migrant stock in the countries of originand destination. Econometric modelling was used to test the hypotheses. The study revealsa significant relationship between international migrant stocks (countries of origin) and theconfirmed cases of COVID-19.
