Coronavirus has impacted families across America, but minorities are among those that have been hardest hit. In New York City, COVID-19 has been twice as deadly for African Americans and Latinos compared to white people.¹ Native Americans have also been disproportionately impacted: In New Mexico, Native Americans account for more than 41 percent of COVID infections but make up less than 11 percent of the state’s population, and infection rates among Native Americans on the Navajo reservation are among the highest in the world.^{2 3}
