Study finds evictions in 2020 led to 10,700 additional pandemic deaths

Washington, December 2 (RHC)-- New research finds more than 400,000 COVID-19 cases and nearly 11,000 deaths resulted from evictions, after many states allowed eviction moratoriums to expire over the summer.

Emergency room physician Dr. Jason Wilson tweeted in response: “Stable housing is even more important than wearing a mask.  Getting out of this pandemic means following all the CDC guidelines — including the one about not evicting people during a global pandemic.”
