Study finds that black and Asian people in England are up to 50 percent more likely to die after becoming infected with Covid-19
Names of people who have died from Covid-19 are seen on a memorial in Clapton, London, Britain on June 2, 2020.
While the report by Public Health England reinforced previous studies which indicated ethnic minority groups were more at risk from the virus, it was not accompanied by specific government advice for those people. The report said that people of Bangladeshi ethnicity had approximately twice the risk of death of people who were white British.
“Families are living in fear. There must be no more delay. The government must take urgent action to protect at-risk groups,” lawmaker David Lammy said.
