CT DPH COVID -19 Race and Ethnicity Data Summary

This report summarizes data on COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 associated deaths by race/ethnicity for the state of Connecticut and the 10 largest Connecticut towns. Data on race/ethnicity are missing on almost half (47%) of reported COVID-19 cases. CT DPH has urged healthcare providers and laboratories to complete information on race/ethnicity for all COVID-19 cases. All data in this report are preliminary; data will be updated as new COVID-19 case reports are received and data errors are corrected. Data on COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-associated deaths were last updated on April 20, 2020 at 3 PM. Information about race and ethnicity are collected on the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) COVID-19 case report form, which is completed by healthcare providers for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases. Information about the race/ethnicity of COVID-19-associated deaths also are collected by the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and shared with DPH. Race/ethnicity categories used in this report are mutually exclusive. People answering ‘yes’ to more than one race category are counted as ‘other’.
