Impact of COVID-19 on California's Farmworkers

This article in the Guardian describes the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on California's farmworkers. The Latino workforce have contracted Covid-19 at nearly three times the rate of other residents. A study from the University of California, Berkeley, published Wednesday, is the first to explore the prevalence of infection rates among the workforce putting food on tables across America.
​
"The study surveyed 1,091 farmworkers from mid-July through the end of November in the Salinas Valley, home to more than 50,000 agricultural workers. Key findings include that 13% of these workers tested over this five-month period tested positive. Comparatively, just 5% of all Californians tested came back positive."
