Utah, Minnesota face legal threats for using race as a factor to determine COVID treatment eligibility as non-whites were at greater risk for hospitalization

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]

The Utah and Minnesota Department of Health both published guidelines for medical professionals to consider race and ethnicity as risk factors for COVID-19

The Utah agency also asks doctors to use risk score cards that give "non-white" status two extra points when determining eligibility for antibody treatment

America First Legal, a conservative law group, called the policies racist and in violation of federal law for discrimination based on race

The Utah Department of Health defended its policy, citing that no one is eligible solely on race and that COVID has had greater impact in communities of color

Minnesotaremoves race as factor in rationing COVID-19 antibody treatment
New guidance for distributing scarce treatments came just as a conservative group challenged old rules.

The policy switch occurred on the same day a conservative advocacy group, America First Legal, threatened to sue Minnesota and Utah, arguing that the states' racial preference policies were unfair.
