Decreased Effectiveness of COVID-19 Prevention Efforts in African American/Black and Latino Populations

Shelter-in-place prevention efforts are less effective in preventing/controlling COVID-19 transmission in African American/black and Latino populations, possibly because these populations are more likely to 1) experience homelessness or to reside in areas of substandard air quality 2) be employed in service/ transportation positions 3) live in crowded urban areas and 4) have high rates of underlying conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, HIV, morbid obesity, liver disease, and kidney disease.
