In the UK, coronavirus has had a disproportionate impact on Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities. A Public Health England report in June found that people from black and Asian ethnic groups were twice as likely to die from Covid-19 compared to white people.
As well as disparities in health, black and ethnic minority workers are overrepresented in the sectors hit worst by the economic crisis. A Guardian analysis showed that the sectors with the highest rates of furloughed jobs and redundancies have disproportionate numbers of BAME workers.
The Guardian is keen to speak to people from BAME backgrounds, including doctors, teachers and food bank volunteers on the health, social, and financial impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had on them.
