PORTLAND, Ore. Portland State University is about a month into a new contact tracing and community outreach program, piloted by Latinx student leaders.
While Oregon continues to battle rising COVID-19 cases, professor Roberto Orellana with PSU s School of Social Work has been tracking the disproportionate impact on the state s Latinx community. He said numbers have been grim since day one.
Despite only making up 13% of Oregon s population, Latinx people represented 39% of all coronavirus cases in late summer. That is down to about 27% in recent January counts, but has ranged up to about 40% over the course of the pandemic.
