Minority 3
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Health of Black and Ethnic Minority Groups in London
How I Chose My Topic
The reason to chose this topic was to analyse the situation of every ethnic minority and
black people and how they got impacted due to the outbreak of the global pandemic of
coronavirus. At the same time, the anti-ethnic prejudice is thrown into stark relief by the uneven
effect of coronavirus on ethnic minorities in several high-paying countries. Ethnic minorities,
incredibly dark and South Asian people, have the worse health outcomes on almost every
measure. Another example is the Coronavirus epidemic (Loomba et al., 2021). A moral quandary
has shaken the established order of society. Moral wounds have this peculiarity—they may be
covered up, but they never shut; always aching, constantly preparing to drain when encountered,
they remain fresh and open in the heart.
How I Used Feedback
As going through the various researches regarding the topic that I chose, I started to
collect data about how it has affected COVID-19 on the ethnic minorities in which minorities
with different ethnicities have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus. The UK
people with different colours have resulted in the highest rate, while white Britons have the
lowest rates. According to data collected up to May 2020, 25% of patients in need of higher
levels of treatment have a dark or Asian ancestry (Bentley, 2020). So, in addition to influencing
the well-being of ethnic minorities, prejudice directly influences the social determinants of well-
being.

My Research Question and How I Developed it?
The study of ethnic minorities made me curious as a future community worker using the
public health skills and knowledge framework (PHSKF). It is important to understand the role of
nationality and prejudice in modern societies to understand better race and health (Phiri et al.,
2021). Chronic sickness and worse future health outcomes will be a long-term consequence of
frequent manifestations of relationship isolation, known predispositions and societal or primary
prejudice. In a Public Health England research, ethnic minority patients are twice as likely to die
from coronavirus than white British patients, even when age, sex, and gender factors are
considered. South Asians had the highest mortality rates (400 deaths/1,000 compared to 300
deaths/1,000 for whites) amongst England's Coronavirus inpatients. Ethnic minorities were also
more likely than white patients to need more intensive care and ventilation, independent of the
severity of their disease, the length of their symptoms, or that they were younger and had fewer
comorbidities.
According to a new study, more instances of coronavirus have been found amongst ethnic
groups without comorbidities or financial risk factors (Durankuş & Aksu, 2020). Coronavirus
cases amongst important workers reflect these characteristics. According to a preliminary
investigation, 63 per cent of passings amongst health and social care workers were attributed to
dark and Asian employees, even though they comprise just 21 per cent of the NHS workforce. In
addition, this photograph has been widely disseminated. In comparison to whites, the case and
confirmation rates for people of colour, Hispanics, and English are 2.5 and 4.5 times higher,
respectively, in the UK.
How did the minority groups of different ethnicities affect the coronavirus and the
possible outcomes regarding their health?
