While adjusted testing rates among non-white persons were marginally higher compared with white persons, infection rates were significantly higher. For African American persons, Hispanic persons, Asian persons, and persons of other\/unknown race, risk of infection was 2-fold, 4-fold, 2-fold and 2-fold higher compared to white persons, respectively.
