 8/19/2020 Race/Ethnicity breakdown

Massachusetts Department of Public Health COVID-19 Dashboard -Wednesday, August 19, 2020

Cases, Hospitalizations, & Deaths by Race/Ethnicity

The following caveats apply to these data:
1. Information on race and ethnicity is collected and reported by laboratories, healthcare providers and local boards of health and may or may not reflect self-report by the individual case.
2. If no information is provided by any reporter on a case’s race or ethnicity, DPH classifies it as missing.
3. A classification of unknown indicates the reporter did not know the race and ethnicity of the individual, the individual refused to provide information, or that the originating system does not capture the information.
4. Other indicates multiple races or that the originating system does not capture the information.
Note: COVID-19 testing is currently conducted by dozens of private labs, hospitals, and other partners and the Department of Public Health is working with these organizations and to improve data reporting by race
and ethnicity, to better understand where, and on whom, the burden of illness is falling so the Commonwealth can respond more effectively. On 4/8, the Commissioner of Public Health issued an Order related to
collecting complete demographic information for all confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients.
