在纽约市 (NYC)，黑人和拉丁裔的 COVID-19 病例和死亡人数比白人多得多。使用纽约市冠状病毒数据存储库中的数据和 2018 年美国社区调查 5 年人口普查估计，我们按种族检查了 2020 年 5 月纽约市各地区（邮政编码制表区域）的检测点分布情况。使用 ArcGIS 创建了多数种族邮政编码级地图，显示了 2020 年 5 月 1 日和 2020 年 5 月 17 日纽约市检测点的分布情况。 t 检验用于确定大多数邮政编码种族的测试地点数量是否存在显着差异。 2020年5月1日至2020年5月17日期间，大多数黑人地区的检测点增加了240%以上，从9个增加到31个，而大多数拉丁裔地区的检测点从16个增加到31个，增加了90%以上。与白人地区相比，黑人 (M = 1257.7) 和拉丁裔 (M = 1662.3) 地区的 COVID-19 病例明显更多 (p < 0.05)。尽管如此，截至 2020 年 5 月 17 日，白人（n = 70；38.9%）地区占据了 180 个检测点中的大部分，而黑人（n = 31；17.2%）和拉丁裔（n = 31；17.2%）地区则占据了大部分。由于社会经济和基本健康状况可能使黑人和拉丁裔面临感染 COVID-19 的高风险，因此必须改善弱势群体获得检测的机会。
In New York City (NYC), there are disproportionately more cases and deaths from COVID-19 for Blacks and Latinos compared to Whites. Using data from the NYC coronavirus data repository and the 2018 American Community Survey 5-year census estimates, we examined the distribution of testing sites across NYC areas (zip code tabulation areas) by race in May 2020. ArcGIS was used to create majority race zip code-level maps showing the distribution of testing sites on May 1, 2020 and May 17, 2020 in NYC. t-tests were used to determine whether significant differences existed in the number of testing sites by the majority race of zip codes. Between May 1, 2020 and May 17, 2020, testing sites in majority Black areas increased by more than 240% from nine to 31, and more than 90% from 16 to 31 in majority Latino areas. Black (M = 1257.7) and Latino (M = 1662.3) areas had significantly more COVID-19 cases (p < 0.05) compared to White areas. Nonetheless, White (n = 70; 38.9%) areas had most of the 180 testing sites on May 17, 2020, compared to Black (n = 31;17.2%) and Latino (n = 31;17.2%) areas. Due to the socio-economic and underlying health conditions that may place Blacks and Latinos at high risk for COVID-19, it is imperative that access to testing is improved for vulnerable groups.
