Abstract: The COVID‐19 pandemic is having an unprecedented and consequential impact on global economies, businesses, and workforces. Foreign nationals account for the majority of the population in the Middle East. Throughout this article, the authors address the negative ramifications the COVID‐19 pandemic has had on the migrant workforce in the Middle East. This pandemic has intensified various socio‐economic and public health crises such as unemployment, income cuts, depletion of savings, repatriation difficulties, inadequate living conditions, and associated burden on healthcare facilities by the COVID‐19 infection.
