White Americans hospitalized with COVID-19 are just as likely to die from the disease as Black Americans.
This is according to a study published Tuesday by JAMA Network Open, reports UPI.
Just over 23% of White patients with COVID-19 being treated in the hospital ultimately died.
This is in comparison to 19% of Black patients who ultimately die, the data showed.
Research shows that Black and Hispanic Americans are hospitalized up to three times more often.
However, with access to care, the death rates appear to even out between races.
