Concluding Comments
Social workers have continued to display uncommon leadership, bravery, and altruism in the face of a deadly virus, defying the odds by putting themselves in harm’s way in order to serve vulnerable people and defend our collective survival. Yet, the scale of our intervention remains unclear. Needless to say, many practitioners are plunged in a state of quagmire as they attempt to navigate ethical dilemmas. Aside addressing ethical issues and underscoring the imperative of social work intervention, we also rolled out guidelines apt and conducive for holistic professional action (as is consistent with the person-in-environment focus of the profession), not only amid the global contagion but also in the aftermath of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic.
