BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Coronavirus: Lockdown extended, stranded abroad and Harjap Bhangal

Why do you think Black and Asian people are more severely affected by coronavirus?

Qasa asks, why do you think Black and Asian people are more severely affected by coronavirus?

Qasa Alom gets a round-up with the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Sukhi Hayer. After that we’ll be hearing from Naz Shah, Labour MP for Bradford West, about the stories she’s heard from her constituents who are stranded in Pakistan during the pandemic. Then Qasa wants to know, why do you think Black and Asian people are more severely affected by coronavirus? This comes as an official government inquiry is being launched looking into the disproportionate impact of coronavirus on BAME people. We’ll then be joined by our regular immigration expert, lawyer Harjap Bhangal, who is in the studio to answer all your questions. Plus we’ll have our feature ‘Gotta Get Through This’, where Qasa wants you to get involved by helping us end the week with some up-lifting news.
