From the Key Points: "'Question'[:] What proportions of Latinx immigrants endorse statements about the immigration ramifications of engaging in COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]-related testing, treatment, and contact tracing? 'Findings'[:] In this survey study of 336 adult Latinx immigrants in the US, 89 participants (27%) believed that hospital emergency departments provided the only source for COVID-19-related testing or treatment for uninsured immigrants. A total of 106 participants (32%) agreed that using public COVID-19-related testing and treatment services could jeopardize an individual's immigration prospects; 96 participants (29%) and 114 participants (34%), respectively, would not identify an undocumented household member or coworker during contact tracing. 'Meaning'[:] These results suggest that substantial proportions of Latinx immigrants have immigration concerns about engaging in COVID-19-related testing, treatment, and contact tracing."
