Data Collection and Reporting

This article looks at a cohort study of patients tested for COVID-19 in Washington, Oregon, and California from March to July 2020 to test for an association between COVID-19 positivity rates and preferred language. The study found that individuals who did not speak English as their first language were more likely to test positive for COVID-19.
