CDC reports 37 deaths among Maryland Hispanics in week ending April 23

Healthinsurance 760x475

There were 37 Hispanic people who died in Maryland in the week ending April 23, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The data shows an increase from the week before when 29 people of Hispanic origin died.

Many records within the CDC are incomplete, as only 60 percent of death records are submitted within 10 days of death.

The Brookings Institute believes deaths among minority populations, specifically Hispanic and Blacks, are chronically underreported.

The U.S. Census defines Hispanic people as those who self-identify as such, often with relatives from regions such as Central and Southern America.
