This study evaluated COVID-19 data from a major federally qualified health center in Providence, R.I., to see how the Hispanic/Latinx community was impacted during three re-opening phases within the state. When compared to data from the entire state, Hispanic/Latinx individuals experienced higher rates of positivity than any other racial group, with urban Hispanics at greatest risk for contracting COVID-19. The paper urges further investigation on the causes for this disparity, as well as targeted interventions to counteract it.
