In Nashville, Latinos are also one-third of all positive cases Zip code data @TNLookout obtained shows the Hispanic/non-Hispanic breakdown in the city. In 7 zip codes, Hispanic infection rates surpass all others.

We're having tech problems getting this data on our site, but above link shows that Hispanic infection rates are high in Antioch, Madison, Old Hickory. Councilmembers, who got this data late last week, say they have been frustrated at lack of communication from @NashvilleHealth
I should add that Metro council members are not the only ones frustrated by lack of data from @NashvilleHealth . Media have been asking for Latino infection data and zip code breakdowns for weeks. Heat maps released by the city's health dept. do not provide hard numbers.
Here's some detailed data Nashville health is sharing. I hope @nashvillehealth didn't intend to make this super-secret, but this URL isn't routinely shared in daily briefings or posted on their primary COVID landing page. Councilmembers got it last week. https://nashville.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=30dd8aa876164e05ad6c0a1726fc77a4
