Summary/Abstract: In this editorial, I adapt a culture of migration approach to the study of migration and COVID-19. I argue that the coronavirus and COVID-19 undermine security and the efforts of movers to make informed decisions concerning their sojourns. The role of insecurity in decision-making, at points of origin and destination, and the ways that movers respond, are developed throughout the articles in this issue of Migration Letters, revealing a growing interest in understanding the complex forces surrounding human mobility.
