LONDON—Black and Asian people in England are up to 50 percent more likely to die after becoming infected with CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, an official study said on June 2, putting pressure on the government to outline plans to protect the most at-risk communities.

While the report by Public Health England (PHE) reinforced previous studies that indicated ethnic minority groups were more at risk from the virus, it was not accompanied by specific government advice for those people.
