Abstract:

This study for the CDC reports findings that the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. Disparities were especially substantial during January–April and generally decreased during May–December however, this was largely because of a greater increase in incidence among White persons, rather than a decline among racial and ethnic minority groups. The largest and most persistent disparities involved Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic persons.
