This paper probes the impacts provoked by the COVID-19 lockdowns upon vulnerable people in Wuhan. Interviews are conducted on 13 research participants who encountered the lockdowns. It turns out that the impacts on those who are vulnerable and the general others share various parallels. Furthermore, seven influences on vulnerable people are concluded, which are “The pandemic”, “Limited mobility, freedom and urban functions”, “Mass media”, “Support activities”, “Stigma due to illness”, “A lack of medical resources”, and “Desire for attention”. In addition, the interviews suggest that the assistance delivered during the lockdown is strongly related to the community, while anti-stigmatization for vulnerable people is not yet considered in the assistance.
