WHY PEOPLE OF COLOR MUST BE ESPECIALLY VIGILANT ABOUT COVID-19
How does COVID-19 Affect Communities of Color and Why? What factors contribute to a higher infection and mortality rate? This video explains the trends noted during spring and early/mid summer.
In response to these factors, the City of Buffalo has held and supported many drives that aim to help residents, especially those who reside in underrepresented communities or areas that lack access. The city has also aimed to set up many testing centers across all areas including areas that have traditionally lacked access to healthcare so that minorities and people of color can get adequate care as all residents are entitled to.
