New study reveals hidden toll of COVID-19 on black and latino new yorkers
NCT ID NCT05467930
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 1,520 mostly Black and Latino individuals and their households who had COVID-19 in New York City. Researchers will use surveys and medical records to track long-term health problems, and for 500 hospitalized patients, they will collect nasal swabs and blood samples to study the virus and immune response. The goal is to understand how infection severity affects long-term health and how COVID-19 impacts entire households.
