Description of the video:
We are joined by Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Virginia Bieluch from the Hospital of Central Connecticut to have a very important conversation about COVID-19. We discuss the rapid development of a functioning and protective vaccine.
Latinos makeup 16 percent of the population of Connecticut and Black people 10% and are disproportionately affected by the virus. We ask Dr. Bieluch about how latinos can curb the spread around the community by wearing masks in large groups and following social distancing guidelines.
