Since January of 2020, there have been about 32 million reported cases of COVID-19 and about 570,000 total deaths from the virus in the United States. Specific populations of people are at higher risk of getting severely ill or dying from the virus.

In addition, people in vulnerable populations and some racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
