Attacks on elderly Asian Americans are a growing concern during COVID-19 pandemic

Attacks on elderly Asian Americans are a growing concern amidst discrimination and xenophobia during the COVID-19 pandemic; and community groups are responding to provide safety and protection (see news story here).

An article about the impact of COVID-19 related racial discrimination among Asian Americans was published  in the American Journal of Public Health (see here).

Resources about preventing social stigma in relation to COVID-19 are available from the World Health Organization (here) and Public Health – Seattle & King County (here).  Please distribute widely.
