Iran Press/ America: Latinos account for 24% COVID cases in Iowa though they are just 6% of the population. Moreover, they make only 13% of the population in Washington but contribute to 44% of cases.
While inadequate medical care, type of occupation, living standards, and the underlying health conditions maybe some of the reasons for this increase, the long-standing social inequalities have many racial and ethnic minority groups at an increased risk of COVID-19.
Limited access to healthcare, educational, and wealth gaps are some of the most common disparities in social determinants that have put the Black and Latinos at an increased risk of coronavirus.
