COVID-19 Resources for South Asian Americans

We know that COVID-19 is most dan­ger­ous to the elder­ly and those who are immuno-com­pro­mised.  We also know that peo­ple who are eco­nom­i­cal­ly, racial­ly, and geo­graph­i­cal­ly mar­gin­al­ized, are being made even more vul­ner­a­ble because of this pan­dem­ic.
