The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published a report showing Asian people are up to five times more likely to contract Covid-19 than white people.
The research also found that more than half of pregnant women with Covid-19 are from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds and warns that BAME communities could be at a greater risk.
Similar trends were also discovered among antibody tests, which show whether someone has had Covid-19 previously.
The results indicated that the rate among Asian people was 10.8%, with Black British people closely following at 9.5%, and the rates among white people were only 4.8%.
