A DISPROPORTIONATE number of black and minority-ethnic (BAME) patients are dying with coronavirus in London hospitals, NHS figures showed today.
Black people account for 13 per cent of the capital’s population but 16 per cent of deaths, the data shows.
People from white backgrounds made up the majority of deaths at 55 per cent, but they also make up a larger proportion of the population of London.
