Translated Summary: Some diseases, as is well known to scientists, more often than others affect representatives of various racial groups, acting "selectively", but Canada is not going to conduct racial profiling based on statistics on the incidence of coronavirus. In the United States, where such data are collected, it was found that, for example, in Chicago, the proportion of black people infected with COVID-19 is higher than average. Latin Americans can be considered another “risk group”. Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, told CBC reporters this week that her agency does not intend to collect “social data” (including race, income, or education) that might be related to coronavirus. To the same question, Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief health officer, noted that the current disease is especially dangerous for the elderly, people with certain health problems or weakened immune systems. Racial differences do not matter for his department.
