The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that African Americans are disproportionately impacted and twice as likely to die from the coronavirus. In Maryland, over sixty percent of residents are Black in Baltimore and Prince Georgeâs County, and Prince Georgeâs County leads Maryland with the most known COVID-19 cases.
There has been a call for action to support minority groups that are heavily impacted by the coronavirus on local and national levels.
Earlier in the year, the COVID-19 Consortium submitted a proposal to Governor Larry Hogan addressing the health inequalities of COVID-19 in African American and Hispanic communities in Maryland.

Across more than 200 immigration detention centers in the United States, tens of thousands of adults and children are experiencing heightened risk of COVID-19 infection and outbreak. Overcrowding and subpar hygiene and medical care make infectious disease outbreaks in these facilities common.

Black children are removed from their families at much greater rates than any other race or ethnicity in this country. At the same time the sheer number of all child abuse investigations in the US is staggering: experts estimate that by age 18 one out of three children has been the subject of a child protective services investigation.
