A systematic review of studies on the impact of COVID-19 on the Black population in Canada highlights two key points. First, the collection and availability of race-based data are necessary to clarify the impact of COVID-19 and other diseases on Black populations in Canada. Second, with the limited available data, studies suggest that COVID-19 disproportionately impacts Black populations in Canada, making up high shares of cases, deaths, and hospitalizations compared to most of the population.
