San francisco. Sadly, we have 20 people who passed away as a result of the virus. As a reminder, datasf. Org covid19 is where you can find details to find out who is actually infected as well as those who have been tested. I want to be clear from the very beginning when we heard about what was happening with the coronavir coronavirus, specifically in wuhan, china, sadly there were a lot of xenophobia of those in our Asian Community. This virus is not discriminating on the basis of race. Sadly, the xenophobia continues. We want our community to know we are here to provide the resources and the support necessary to deal with the challenges around discrimination. So its not tolerated here in San Francisco. In fact, as we look at the data and the inequities as it relates to covid19, we are seeing the disparities, true disparities around income and inequality and other things that have sadly been a part of our environment and our climate for so many years, that when there is a pandemic, tho
Information about social distancing, and working with trusted messengers to share that message. We have been supplying essential household needs directly to community to minimize the time they have to spend outside.

That makes sense from what we know because the m. S. C. South shelter is in that zip code, which is the location of the citys largest outbreak, with 96 cases among guests to date. The 94110 zip code has among the highest number of cases in the city. This likely reflects crowded housing conditions, including multifamily and multigenerational homes, which makes it more difficult to practice social distancing and quarantine and selfisolation. This is the mission, the heart of San Franciscos Latino Community. Citywide 25 of positive covid19 cases are among latinos, although they make up only 15 of the San Francisco population. Now i would like to talk about our ongoing strategy at the Health Department to focus on equity in our coronavirus response. These maps reinforce our need to continue to do this. We are
