The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed structural racism, inequalities, and other forms of systemic oppression that have limited opportunities for health equity and community wellbeing. Research in geographic areas with a high percentage of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality provides evidence for the importance of setting and community when evaluating the differential effects of the pandemic on medically underserved populations. Communities with high rates of COVID-19 infections and deaths often also dispro-portionately suffer from the economic ill effects of the pandemic, including job loss, loss of income, disruptions in schooling and childcare, loss of housing, and accompanying stress and anxiety. COVID-19 has perpetuated health disparities among racial and ethnic minorities, with higher prevalence and mortality rates in communities that face barriers to healthcare, employment, and health insurance coverage, as well as other social and structural inequities.URL
