Farah's experience reflects the findings of a groundbreaking new study that reveals COVID-19 is disproportionately impacting the health and finances of Black Canadians. Dunia Nur co-authored the study that found Black Canadians have been hit hard financially and health-wise by the pandemic. The study also reveals why Black Canadians may be more heavily impacted by the pandemic. The survey was conducted online among a representative sample of 2,322 Canadians, including a representative sample of 400 Black Canadians, from June 17 through June 30.
