Heath Equity and COVID-19

Last Update: Oct 04, 2020

Health equity is when everyone has the opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put many racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19. This page lists emerging information and publications in COVID-19 Genomics and Precision Health portal that are relevant to health equity. Search terms are derived from a list provided by the Association for Territorial Health Officials which includes terms such as diversity, health disparities, and others. The search algorithm combines terms in health equity with those of genomics and precision health.
