Health Equity Considerations stemming from the COVID-19 Pandemic
- Discrimination
- Healthcare access and use
- Occupation
- Educational, income and wealth gaps
- Housing

They have also lead to higher rates of certain medical conditions that increase the risk of contracting COVID-19, or a more severe case of the virus.
