Elena Mazzalai et al.

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected migrants and ethnic minorities (MEMs) due to socio-economic disadvantages, legal barriers, administrative issues, and language barriers. This study aimed to examine the impact of Covid-19 on MEMs compared to the general population in terms of severe outcomes. A systematic review of studies published between 01/01/2020 and 19/03/2021 in the WHO European Region was conducted. Among the included studies, there was a higher risk of hospitalization, ICU admission, and mortality for MEMs compared to the white and/or native population.
