Abstract / Description: 

More than 28% of people diagnosed with COVID-19 in the United States are Hispanic, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Despite that percentage and the fact that Latinx are the largest racial marginalized group in the United States, the effect of COVID-19 on this community has not been widely addressed, said Aletha Maybank, MD, MPH, chief health equity officer and group vice president of the AMA.
