Why are people from Black and Asian backgrounds twice as likely to die from Covid-19?
Mobeen asks why the highest diagnosis rates of Covid-19 in the UK have been in people with Black and Asian backgrounds,and why they are twice as likely to die from Covid19. Mobeen chats with guests Dr Mo Sattar, a GP from Leeds and Zohra Khaku from the Muslim Youth Helpline, about what can be done about it and why it got to that stage in the first place. They also look into the realities of COVID19 in our Asian communities and what its like working as frontline connections to the public.
