Description:

What is already known about this topic? Racial and ethnic disparities in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk and death from COVID-19 have been well documented.

What is added by this report? Analysis of data from 41 health care systems participating in the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network found lower use of monoclonal antibody treatment among Black, Asian, and Other race and Hispanic patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 test results, relative to White and non-Hispanic patients. Racial and ethnic differences were smaller for inpatient administration of remdesivir and dexamethasone.

What are the implications for public health practice? Equitable receipt of COVID-19 treatments by race and ethnicity along with vaccines and other Prevention practices are essential to reduce inequities in severe COVID-19–associated illness and death.
