Ethnic inequalities in Covid-19 mortality: a consequence of persistent racism

Ethnic inequalities in Covid-19 mortality: a consequence of persistent racism This briefing (published in collaboration with the Centre of Dynamics of Ethnicity) discusses the reasons for ethnic minority people experiencing a much higher risk of Covid-19-related death. Ethnic inequalities in relation to Covid-19 mirror longstanding ethnic inequalities in health. A large body of evidence has shown that these inequalities are driven by social and economic inequalities, many of which are the result of racial discrimination. Runnymede Trust
