Arkansas Sees Racial Disparities in COVID-19 Cases

The COVID-19 pandemic is hitting minorities much harder than whites, and health professionals say the reasons are social rather than biological. Dr. Susan Ward-Jones, the CEO of the East Arkansas Family Health Center in West Memphis, and Dr. Pebbles Fagin, the director of the UAMS Department of Health Behavior and Education, discussed the disparities on this weekend's Arkansas Week program.
