Impact of Coronavirus on Ethnic Minority Communities

The podcast explores the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities in the UK. Research indicates that individuals from these backgrounds are more likely to be hospitalized and critically ill with the virus, despite forming a smaller percentage of the population. Factors such as underlying health conditions, language barriers, and socio-economic disparities contribute to the increased risk within these communities. Efforts are underway to gather more data and address the specific challenges faced by ethnic minority groups.
