Although it is known that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities, our study characterizes the connection between COVID-19 susceptibility and both limited English proficiency (LEP) and large household size. We examined demographic and social data for 1130 individuals who tested positive for or were exposed to COVID-19. Analysis revealed that LEP persons were 3.2 times as likely to report difficulty obtaining supplies for quarantine. Individuals in large households were 1.9 times as likely to report difficulty obtaining supplies for quarantine and 2.0 times as likely to report inability to quarantine. This study, therefore, informs interventions targeted to these populations.
虽然已知2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）对少数种族和族裔的影响尤为严重，但我们的研究描述了COVID-19易感性与英语水平有限（LEP）和家庭规模较大之间的联系。我们检查了1130名COVID-19检测呈阳性或接触过COVID-19的个体的人口统计学和社会数据。分析显示，英语水平有限的人报告难以获得隔离用品的可能性是其他人的3.2倍。大家庭中的个体报告难以获得隔离用品的可能性是其他人的1.9倍，报告无法进行隔离的可能性是其他人的2.0倍。因此，本研究为针对这些人群的干预措施提供了依据。
