Description

In North Carolina today, people of color face inequities that affect their health and their vulnerability to diseases like Covid-19. CDC and North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services data show that minorities now represent a disproportionate number of both Covid-19 cases and fatalities. Social factors and implicit bias play a significant role.
