more evidence has emerged of the greater risk faced by some minority groups in the uk from coronavirus. a major study has found that people of south asian origin, who've been admitted to hospital, are most likely to die from the illness. data from nearly 35,000 people found the risk of death for south asians was up by a fifth compared to that for white people. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. the family of dr abdul mabud chowdhury have paid a heavy price during the coronavirus crisis. working on the front line of the nhs meant dr chowdhury, who died at the height of the pandemic, was already at risk of infection. ina red in a red cross tent opposite the residential buildings, locals volunteered to monitor people's comings and goings and take their temperatures. for some of them, it's become a way of making ends meet. now it's clear that as a man of south asian heritage, that risk was even greater. it was quite clarifying — it clarifies why my dad passed, because my dad was a really healthy, strong, fit man, so the fact that he wasn't able to fight this off, i knew it couldn't be a fault of his, but a fault on a larger scale, that larger scale

being that south asians are so much more prone to dying from this virus. today's study of 35,000 hospital patients across england, scotland and wales found those from a south asian background were 20% more likely to die than white people. with an average age of 60, they were also 12 years younger, and 40% of south asian patients had type 1 or type 2 diabetes, compared with 25% of white groups. asians and other ethnic minorities are in occupations which are at greater risk. we do need to think about how we deal with ethnicity and pre—existing conditions like diabetes as we ease lockdown, and potentially, if other preventative treatments such as vaccination are available in the future, before the lockdown was eased, the how those are used. government announced that daily new infections in wuhan dropped from 13,000 at the peak 20, but locals higher rates of diabetes accounts for some of the increased risk among the south asian community, still carry the burden of the virus. but not all of it. poverty, employment and housing may also play a role. and for these two gps in manchester, that leads to wider questions around improving the integration in minority communities
