Limited data released by both the state and city of Boston show higher rates of coronavirus infections in black and Latino residents. On Monday, Dr. Sandro Galea, the dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, told WGBH News that once more data is available, he expects to see a trend of the virus more heavily impacting African-Americans and Latinos than whites. Pressley said she believes the higher rate of infections and disease in communities of color is connected to structural policy problems, such as a lack of available healthy food and public transportation.
