The COVID-19 mortality rate was significantly higher for racialized populations (31 deaths per 100,000 population) compared with the non-racialized and non-Indigenous population (22 deaths per 100,000 population). The analysis of COVID-19 mortality rates among specific racialized populations revealed that Black people had the highest COVID-19 mortality rate (49 deaths per 100,000 population), followed by South Asians (31 deaths per 100,000 population) and Chinese people (22 deaths per 100,000 population). Results showed that living in low income didn’t significantly change the risk of dying due to COVID-19 for any of the racialized populations except for the Black population.
