On July 27th, 2020, the UK government delivered the new national methodology for handling stoutness. In large striking textual style, the heading of the official public statement urges individuals to "Get in shape to beat COVID-19 and secure the NHS".

In the initial 4 months of the pandemic, England saw the best pace of overabundance passings in Europe. As indicated by a New York Times investigation, between March 14 and July 17, 2020, the UK has had 62 600 more passings, a 31% expansion, contrasted, and a similar period a year ago.

Stoutness, alongside other ceaseless conditions, for example, diabetes, is a perceived hazard factor for extreme clinical results of COVID-19.
