In the COVID-19 pandemic, there are many challenges regarding human mobility flows. In this sense, the objective is to analyze international mobility of refugees in northeastern Brazil in the face of the pandemic and the possible increase in the vulnerability of migrant subjects in the face of this situation. The article is structured in three stages. Initially, the protective apparatus (national and international) concerning refugees was shown. Then, the challenge of welcoming refugees and the possibility of accentuated characterization of their vulnerability due to the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed, and for that purpose, data from the Ministry of Justice, in particular from the National Committee for Refugees (CONARE), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and also the Ministry of Health. Finally, the need for instruments / means to guarantee the protection of refugees in situations of aggravating risk is explained, especially, in the face of the facts and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used a bibliographic methodology, of a qualitative nature, with descriptive and exploratory purposes. It was concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic is a configurator of the double vulnerability of the population in a situation of refuge, and, thus, there is the emergence of new regulatory frameworks and instruments that enable the protection of refugees.
