Study: London’s Haredi Jews among world leaders in virus infections – While researchers do not mention reason for staggering COVID-19 figures among city’s ultra-Orthodox community, co-author notes religious, ethnic minority groups have been at higher risk of infection at all stages of the pandemic | ynetnews

A new study has found that the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in London boasts one of the highest COVID-19 infection rates in the world with 64%, the BBC reported on Wednesday.
This figure is nine times higher than the average British infection rate which stands at about seven percent and is, reportedly, “among the highest reported anywhere in the world,” the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found.
