Race Disparity Unit, Government Equalities Unit, Equity Hub updated 26 May 2021
- Quarterly reports summarising work undertaken by the Minister for Equalities and government departments on COVID-19 disparities.
- The first report (22 October 2021) concluded that a range of socioeconomic and geographical factors coupled with pre-existing health conditions were contributing to the higher infection and mortality rates for ethnic minority groups. The second report (1 March 2021) looks at those causes in more detail and sets out some of the work undertaken to fill the gaps in our understanding and to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 infection. The third report (26 May 2021) summarises work across government to improve vaccine uptake among ethnic minorities.
