The COVID-19 outbreak and its control measures affect the life, livelihood and way of life of many. Vulnerable groups may require different information, practical, emotional and financial support, depending on their specific vulnerabilities. Early reports for the Dutch government on the impacts of COVID-19 control measures were used for drafting a preliminary overview of vulnerable groups and their vulnerabilities. The overview may serve as first step towards a scoping review and be of use in the professional discussion for targeting and finetuning the support to the groups most in need.
