BARONESS Doreen Lawrence will lead a review into the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, the Labour Party said today.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer appointed the campaigner and mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in 1993, as the party’s race-relations adviser.
The Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre has found that 34 per cent of more than 4,800 critically ill patients with the coronavirus identified as belonging to an ethnic minority.
