^† ED visits for COVID-19 are defined as ED visits with any of the following: International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes U07.1 or J12.82 or Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) codes 840539006, 840544004, or 840533007.

^§ Race/ethnicity–specific crude visit rates per 100,000 population were calculated using population denominators from the National Center for Health Statistics 2019 bridged-race postcensal population estimates (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/bridged_race.htm); 38,199 (13.5%) ED visits with patient ethnicity data missing or visits with patient ethnicity identified as non-Hispanic/Latino but missing patient race data were not included in this analysis. Patient race or patient ethnicity categorized as “unknown,” “not categorized,” and “refused to answer” are considered missing.
