Summary Report/Recommendations
This study uses data from the COVID Tracking Project’s Racial Data Tracker, which aggregates state-level COVID-19 reporting and tracking databases to determine racial/ethnic trends of COVID-19 incidence and evaluate the racial/ethnic distribution of COVID-19 related mortality in the US. Results found that disparities are more apparent at the county and city level, and discusses the importance of transparent, local data in order to allow for greater precision in resource allocation and effective policy changes aimed at reducing disparities. The study includes choropleth maps of the results by state.

This practice describes a Three-Phase Approach to mitigating COVID-19 in long-term and post-acute care nursing facilities in the Seattle, WA area. The authors outline a structure for addressing the pandemic based on disease surveillance measures, with different focus areas within each phase. Measures include:
(1) Initial: Communication, tracking, PPE preparation
(2) Delayed: Education, testing, isolation
(3) Surge: Activation of a “drop team”” of health care professionals during an outbreak

Summary Report/Recommendations
This article documents the efforts of the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander COVID-19 Response, Recovery, and Resilience Team, a partnership of academic, government, and community organizations. Their goal was to analyze the utilization, public reporting, and quality of race and ethnicity health data to inform policy changes and promote equity. Through this partnership, the group created solutions for issues such as aggregation of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders in health data, how data is reported through the health department, and discussions with testing labs and health institutions to create more standardized race and ethnicity data.
