As part of its COVID-19 Webinar Series, CPWR—The Center for Construction Research and Training will hold a webinar, Addressing COVID-19’s Health Disparities, July 30 at 2 p.m. EDT.
COVID-19 has had a disproportionate effect on minorities who have an increased risk of getting COVID-19 and experiencing severe illness. In 2019, 30.4% of construction workers were Latino compared with 17.7% of workers in all industries.
The one-hour webinar will discuss how to address minority and ethnic groups at risk for COVID-19 using effective health and safety messaging.
