Asian American communities are suffering acts of discrimination, hate crimes, and micro-aggressions due to fears of COVID-I9.
Since the December 2019 outbreak of the COVID-l9 virus in Wuhan, China, the infection has grown to more than 125.68 million confirmed cases and more than 2.75 million confirmed deaths worldwide. Scientists have confirmed that the COVID-l9 disease does not respect borders and is not caused by ethnicity, and the World Health Organization has cautioned against using geographic descriptors because they can fuel ethnic discrimination.
