Grieving families of those who died of Covid 19 are calling for racism to be examined during the inquiry.
Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice (CBFFJ), The Runnymede Trust and 25 other civil society organisations have written to Baroness Hallett, chair of the Covid Inquiry, calling for structural racism to be explicitly investigated.
Spokesperson for CBFFJ Lobby Akinnola, whose key worker father Femi , 60, caught Covid in April 2020 and died two weeks later on the sofa of their family home, says that it feels as though racism is being “sidelined” or “waved off.”
