What ethnic groups are most vulnerable to coronavirus?
Scientists from the UK Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found significant differences in mortality data from coronavirus among different ethnic groups in the UK. The report is available on the institute’s website.
The highest mortality rate was recorded among black immigrants from the Caribbean: mortality among this group of people is 3 times higher than among the white population of the UK.
The mortality rate among other groups of black people exceeds the average in the country by 2 times.
According to the authors of the study, different indicators of mortality from coronavirus infection among ethnic groups may be the result of a complex set of economic and social factors, as well as the state of health of citizens. The geographical distribution and population density in a particular locality could impact as well.
