Dr. Gino Aisenberg, Associate Professor in the School of Social Work and co-director of the Latino Center for Health, was interviewed on July 28 by Univisión for a report on the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 among Latinxs in Washington state.
Recent data from the WA Department of Health shows that up to 44% of all COVID-19 cases in the state are of Latinxs. Dr. Aisenberg underscores the need for increased safety measures for Latinxs who make up a significant portion of essential workers in our state and frequently live in multigenerational households. Dr. Aisenberg also discusses the language barrier that exists and how that might also be a significant factor.
