I have so far heard of 5 cases of #coronavirus infections among British-Somalis. It includes one young woman (in her 20s) and a child.
3 out of the 5 - all old people - have died.
But I wonder how many more are out there? Do you know of anyone or heard of others?

I fear that the message is failing to reach certain age groups in the community - in particular the young (under 25s) and the high risk group (65+).
Fake Whatsapp messages are like wildfire and they’re catching on fast and hard.

I have just heard a young woman, 27, from London has also died. She was caring for her infected elderly mother who is still alive. It seems she had no underlying health issue.
I& #39;m trying to verify it, but do confirm if you know them.

In Sweden, two individuals are being treated. They seem to be on the mend but initially, they thought their symptoms were due to allergy and only pursued medical attention after family pushed them to. https://twitter.com/aloeshawty/status/1241818692670722048">https://twitter.com/aloeshawt...
And to put things in context for Sweden, here& #39;s an interesting tweet. It has been days now, so would be interesting to know how many Somalis there are being impacted.

In #Sweden and as of March 24, at least six of 15 people who died from the virus in the Stockholm were Somali, according to the Swedish-Somali medical association.

Example of when one takes initiative and stays put. Thank you. And Fawzi looks like a young man and not necessarily in the & #39;risk category& #39; group. https://twitter.com/1Fxwzi/status/1242477989654233089">https://twitter.com/1Fxwzi/st...

This young woman didn& #39;t see it coming and was shocked when she was tested positive.
She adds: & #39;I hope people in our community get informed about this. Me getting diagnosed with COVID-19 really was an eye opener for my family and relatives.& #39; https://twitter.com/M_cheiq/status/1241864541425864704">https://twitter.com/M_cheiq/s...
