A shift in the odds meant people of Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage were most at risk during the second wave of the pandemic - but that White British people were more likely to test positive for Covid-19 in wave three.
According to Office for National Statistics (ONS) data, the infection rate was higher among the Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities than any other ethnic group in England between September 2020 and December 2021, as the second wave of the virus was sweeping through the nation.
For every 100,000 people of Bangladeshi origin, around 382 people had tested positive for Covid-19 at that time.
