According to the analysis, Asian patients lave a lower risk of requiring hospital admission with Covid-19 than the other groups. But Asian patients were most likely to die in the hospital from Covid-19 and require intensive care unit admission as compared to the other groups.

Based on the analysis of the data of Covid-19 patients, the researchers said that there is a higher prevalence of comorbidities, especially diabetes, among the minority ethnic patients. Apart from comorbidities and socioeconomic factors, biological factors may also contribute to the impact of Covid-19 on minority communities, the study suggested. The researchers, however, called for more research to prove this finding on multi-ethnic populations in other countries.

In August, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report that said most of the people hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 were black. The coronavirus also killed more black people across the U.S. than White people, it stated. One possible reason for this difference is that many people of color work in essential industries such as nursing or home health care, grocery stores and mass transit. This increases their risk of exposure to people who are sick.

As these jobs are often poorly paid, they also lack health or life insurance. In addition, many black, Latinx and indigenous communities have high rates of underlying health conditions, including diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. These health conditions are known risk factors for severe illness and death from COVID-19.
