Weekly COVID-19 Death by Race/Ethnicity, From March 2020 to August 2020

The data set includes both confirmed COVID-19 deaths (classified as such after a positive result from a molecular test) and probable COVID-19 deaths (when the cause of death on the death certificate is COVID-19 or similar, but a positive molecular test is not on record); deaths of residents of congregate settings (long-term care facilities and correctional facilities). To protect patient confidentiality, racial and ethnic groups that saw four or fewer deaths on a given week were not included in the dataset. * Total for whites: 5,968 * Total for Hispanic/Latinos: 7,128 * Total for Black/African Americans: 6,655 * Total for Asian/Pacific Islanders: 1,809
