The current COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the whole world, including the population of Norway. However, there have been reports about certain groups of the population, like some minority ethnic groups being overrepresented on some of the statistics on prevalence of COVID-19 and severe outcomes.
We will summarise available research from Norway and countries with similar welfare system on prevalence of COVID-19 infection, rate of admission to hospital and poor prognosis during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will assess the reported outcomes for minority ethnic groups and we will assess the reported outcomes for people with different socio-economic status.
We will conduct a systematic review according to the standards of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health handbook for systematic reviews.
