For Latinx workers, deaths increased by 60 percent in the sector.

COVID-19 has claimed more than 2.6 million lives worldwide since the start of the pandemic with more than 5,500 of those deaths being Bay Area residents.
The first Bay Area virus-related death was reported March 9, 2020, more than a month after California’s first reported case. A later autopsy, however, linked the death of a Santa Clara County resident on Feb. 6 to the virus, which is believed to be the first virus-related death in the U.S.
While death counts remained low in the early stages of the pandemic, the winter surge brought overcrowded ICUs, unmanageable numbers of hospital patients and the loss of thousands of lives.
