The COVID-19 pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on the Latinx community in Texas and across the nation. They are facing more severe health and economic consequences than the non-Hispanic White population.
This webinar will address the impact of COVID-19 on the Latinx community, including the risk factors for and effects of the disease, the financial consequences and resources available, how Latinx people with disabilities are affected, and focus on where we go from here to address these disparities and improve outcomes for the Latinx community.
