The COVID-19 pandemic has both exposed and created deep rifts in society. It has
thrust us into deep ethical thinking to help justify the difficult decisions many
will be called upon to make and to protect from decisions that lack ethical
underpinnings. This paper aims to highlight ethical issues in six different areas
of life highlighting the enormity of the task we are faced with globally. In the
context of COVID-19, we consider health inequity, dilemmas in triage and
allocation of scarce resources, ethical issues associated with research, ethical
considerations relating to tracing apps, and exit strategies such as immunity
passports and COVID-19 vaccines. Finally, we consider environmental issues in
light of COVID-19. The paper also offers some ethical reflection on these areas
as many parts of the world contemplate the recovery phase.
