Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2021 Mar;17(3):125-126. doi: 10.1038/s41584-020-00524-8.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled the global community to work together to understand SARS-CoV-2 and mitigate its effects, but it has also highlighted health disparities faced by people from minority racial or ethnic groups and other marginalized populations. International collaboration needs to be leveraged to address these disparities and inequities.
