2019年12月，一种名为SARS-CoV-2的新型冠状病毒在中国武汉出现，引发了我们现在称之为COVID-19的2019冠状病毒病。世界卫生组织于2020年3月12日宣布COVID-19为大流行。在美国，2019冠状病毒病大流行暴露了一些历史上弱势群体之间存在的社会和健康差距，少数民族确诊和死于2019冠状病毒病的比例存在明显差异。在本文中，我们将描述COVID-19对美国西班牙裔/拉丁裔（以下简称：西班牙裔或拉丁裔）社区正在出现的不成比例的影响，讨论潜在的前因，并考虑应对COVID-19对这一人群的不同影响的策略。
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, emerged in Wuhan, China, causing the coronavirus disease 2019 we now refer to as COVID-19. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on 12 March 2020. In the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed preexisting social and health disparities among several historically vulnerable populations, with stark differences in the proportion of minority individuals diagnosed with and dying from COVID-19. In this article we will describe the emerging disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the Hispanic/Latinx (henceforth: Hispanic or Latinx) community in the United States, discuss potential antecedents, and consider strategies to address the disparate impact of COVID-19 on this population.
