New Data Shows Harsh Impacts of COVID-19 on BC s South Asian Population

Experts say that in the absence of race-based data collection, demographics around ethnicity in these hotspots might be the closest B.C. can get to identifying how the pandemic disproportionately impacts racial minority communities. “If we take a look at the demographics of the communities, we can see what we have already suspected, which is that people who are working in essential work frontline jobs, predominantly from racialized and marginalized communities are being affected by the pandemic,” said Kulpreet Singh, founder of the South Asian Mental Health Alliance. “This is something that’s been replicated across the board in other cities around the world, especially if we look at cities where they have disaggregated data. It’s not surprising to see that here as well.”
