Maryland does not display Native American COVID-19 data

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Lumped into the “Other” racial and ethnic category, American Indians and Alaska Natives are effectively invisible on Maryland’s state website for COVID-19. More than 120,000 people who identify as Native American live in Maryland, but without public-facing numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths, it is a mystery how many the disease has affected -- and how many resources should be allocated to help them.
