In a study of 1,000 children, researchers found that
COVID-19 infection rates are “significantly higher” for Black and Hispanic
children, especially when they come from a lower family income bracket.
Specifically, only 9.7% in higher income percentiles were
positive for the virus, while 37.7% in lower brackets were positive. Of those
numbers, 30% of Black children and 46.4% of Hispanic children were positive, as
compared to 7.3% of white children.
