Latinx Communities Worried About COVID

A survey of 468 Spanish speakers in Oregon shows a greater worry among Latinx communities about COVID-19 than other sectors of the population.  Respondents to the survey by Lara Media commissioned by the Oregon Health Authority found 70 percent are very worried about COVID-19 and 72 percent are very concerned about getting sick, much higher than the overall population was found to be in an associated survey by DHM Research.  Victoria Lara of Lara Media said most of the people they surveyed are essential workers with a low income, and sometimes the only person in their family that is working, so they don’t feel they can leave their jobs and go into quarantine.  47 percent of the Spanish speakers surveyed said they would be “very willing” to talk to a contact tracer, and only 31 percent said they’d “definitely” get a COVID-19 vaccine.
