COVID-19 has been shown to disproportionately impact people of colour both in the United Kingdom and in the United States where blacks make up 13.4% of the population but 30% of COVID-19 cases. Mounting evidence shows that COVID-19 impacts several organ systems, including the skin. PMID: 32471009 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
