Abstract in brief

  • Structural racism has contributed to policies that lead to social and economic disadvantages for Black and HispanicLatinx communities, resulting in higher exposure risks and poorer health outcomes, especially during COVID-19.
  • Data from Illinois shows that from March to December 2020, Black and HispanicLatinx residents faced significantly higher COVID-19 case and death rates compared to White residents, particularly among younger people, with risks more than twice as high early in the pandemic.
  • Although disparities decreased after May 2020, they persisted and remained more severe at younger ages, with Black and HispanicLatinx individuals under 50 experiencing over ten times the risk of death compared to similar White age groups.
