Beyonce warned the coronavirus was having a disproportionate impact on black Americans as she made an appearance during the One World: Together At Home concert.
The pop superstar paid tribute to medical staff who have been putting their lives at risk during the global pandemic, describing them as “true heroes”.
She singled out “those in the food industry, delivery workers, mail carriers and sanitation employees” and thanked them for their “selfless service”.
Beyonce then highlighted the deadly impact of Covid-19 in America’s black communities, after several states and cities released worrying data earlier this week.
