undermined the economy and changed the lives of people around the whole world upside
decreased, and affected the social, healthcare and economy. In the month of January 2020, the
wealth organisation, due to increasing fears about the quickly spread the pandemic. The first
stage of virus from the 3rd month 2020 to 5th month of 2020, limited investigating was available.
Because in the hospital the number of cases underestimated in compare to actual data. There was
no information about the death of the people and hospital admitted. These situation has destroyed
the life of people life and shows an unprecedented challenge for human health, food activity and

government was imposed the lockdown in the entire country. Due to lockdown, the effect of the
virus was decreased and death cases also reduced. The impact of pandemic has induced the UK
to desperately roll out many beneficial net-based enhancements, leaving experts with fewer and
fewer delegates from qualifying.
From the above data shows the number of death cases has increased day by day in the year of
2020. In the month of march, the total no of death was lower as compare to the next month. At
the end of march, the entire world has faced the lockdown situation and all the activities were

And most important factor is the death of the near and dear ones. The continues psychological
burden has increased the high rates of burnouts and suicidal cases. Many researchers have also
found that there was so hardships in the maternity and child care facilities leads to the thousands
of infant’s deaths, especially in the lower income countries. Some researchers have researched
that this situation is mainly due to the curfews, non-availability of the transports, strict
lockdowns and unavailability of the medical services due to suspension and cancellation of the
services even after the appointments. When unable to coping with the pandemic challenges, there
is an adverse impact on the health outcomes such as failure of lungs, breathlessness, etc and cost
of the healthcare workers also. the healthcare workers experiencing major traumatic issues,
emotional breakdown, lower productivity and increase in the labour turnover rates.

unemployment rate remained low. The unemployment rate increased only to 5 percent in the last
quarter (Ganotakis, D'Angelo and Konara, 2021). The effective Pandemic Job Scheme and
Employment Income Scheme have maintained the low unemployment. From the starting of
COVID-19 to November 2020, the retention scheme has paid wages of 12.2 million employees.
In August 2020, inflation reduced along with Gross domestic product to 0.5%. The government

of UK implemented various monetary, fiscal and monetary and social policies which all effected
the economy during the COVID-19. The monetary policy of UK was very efficiently at
protecting enterprises and businesses and maintain the unemployment rate low (Hamaluba,
