Written by Jonathan Todres and Angela Diaz.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not only revealed inequities, it has also exacerbated them. Already-vulnerable populations are bearing the brunt of the health impacts of COVID-19 and also experiencing educational and economic consequences.

This publication briefly discusses these issues along with some measures which may be taken to address them.
