also determine the impact of covuid-19 upon economy in UK.
Covid-19 in UK
In UK, the cases of coronavirus is increases promptly because the government do not
take any measure initially that affect the cases in negative manner. Almost each part of UK was
badly affected from the virus and that is why, it can be stated that the death rate increases. The
main reason of increasing death is lack of equipment and vaccine, that is why, healthcare
workers are not able to save the life (Aburto and et.al., 2021).

The above mention statistics reflect that the rate of death cases in UK was increased from
2020 onward and the government keep imposing strict restriction to the public that help to break
the chain of coronavirus. In accordance with the above graph, it has been identified that England

had suffered the highest death rate among all nation of UK such that in 2020, there were 66711
deaths recorded that is highest. On the other side, 1340 deaths recorded in Northern Ireland and
then 2918 recorded in Scotland. However, in Wales the death rate was 3710 which is third
highest as per the official statistics. Therefore, it can be stated that the trend of coronavirus in
UK is keep increases up to the end of 2021 and there are number of deaths recorded and some of
them are not as well. Though government also make effective response in order to control the
situation like self-isolation but unfortunately the situation become worse and it lead to increase
the number of deaths due to lack of cure. Hence, it can be stated that death rate in UK is keep
increases after 2020 due to lack of equipment and understand the situation.
Impact of Covid-19 on the healthcare in UK
The impact of Covid-19 on the healthcare in UK is worse because workers are not determine
how to treat their patients at the time of pandemic. Also, it has been identified that the rate of
performing the health checks was reduced by 76% to 88% from last 10 years and this is because
healthcare workers are not able to determine the ways through which the chances of disease can
be decreased. That is why, it can be stated that Covid-19 has a negative impact over the health of
UK (Aughterson and et.al., 2021). Thus, the health system of UK is fails and at global level it
strives to cope but die to lack of guidance there is no specific results generated at the initial year
of pandemic.

As per the above graph, it has been identified that the death ratio of the cases in UK is
almost fluctuating within UK for the year 2020. This in turn shows that there is almost 1% and
0% death ratio calculated in the year 2020. Thus, it can be stated that there is a need to determine
the changes that increases the rate of death within UK and at the end of 2020 the vaccine was
introduced that somehow assist people to decrease the death rate and minimize the negative
impact.
Impact of Covid-19 on economy of UK
It has been analyzed that the entire world is affected negatively due to pandemic and that
is why, the economy of a countries is also affected at its worse. It can be stated that the GDP of
UK is declined by 9.7% in 2020 and this in turn shows that majority of the people will be loose
their jobs and it affect negative impact over the performance. Also, at the first lockdown in UK,
there was 25% decline identified from the last month. The rationale for the same is due to strict
lockdown imposed within the country and this affected the entire system of the companies into
negative manner. August was the first month where there was no coronavirus patient detected

and this is due to strict lockdown imposed within a country that helps the individual to get
recovery. As a result, the city contributed to monthly GDP that grown by 0.4% between July
2021 and August 2021. Though it has been identified that the GDP remained 0.8% below its
level in February (Su and et.al., 2021). Therefore, it can be stated that the country faces at its
worst situation which need to be overcome in next upcoming years that helps to recover the
entire situation and create a better outcome. Apart from this, monthly production output also
grew by 0.8% but it remained 1.3% below its February 2020 level. Therefore, it shows that there
is negative impact identified over the economy as majority of the work is stop manufacturers
shut down their work and this in turn create a negative impact over the GDP (Impact of Covid-19
upon economy, 2020).

Unemployment rate
In accordance with the above graph of unemployment rate within 2021, it has been
identified that in the first quarter of 2021, the rate of unemployment is 4.9% which is somehow
decreases by 4.7% in second quarter. The same trend was followed at the end of 2021 and this
shows that the rate is decreases by the end of 2021. Hence, it can be stated that the effect of
Covid-19 was low even though here was second wave in the world, but with the help of vaccine,
the death rate has been controlled and it assist to manage GDP of the country so that youngsters
can perform the job and this assist to create a better outcome for the company as well.

Impact of Covd-19 on social life
The economic as well as social disruption causes by pandemic is devastating because
millions of people are at risk of failing into extreme poverty and this has been increases more at
the end of 2021. This shows that there is a negative impact identified over social life due to
Covid-19. It can be also stated that pandemic has leads to dramatic loss of human life globally.
Thus, due to prompt fire from top companies, there was no income which means no food, and
this in turn lead to less nutritious food (Impact of COVID-19 on people's livelihoods, their health
and our food systems, 2020). Hence, it can be stated that pandemic also affected the entire food
system and also laid bare, further due to restriction in the inter-state, the accessibility of the
market has affected negatively and causes negative impact over the social life of human being.
Along with this, pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihood at risk that
affected the overall performance in negative manner.
On the other hand, it has been identified that millions of agriculture workers regularly
faces high level of working poverty and malnutrition that affect the overall performance in
negative manner. Apart from this, fear and anxiety has also increases among the people and this
causes negative impact over the entire life of the people. Therefore, public health emergencies
are stressful situation for the people and communities that increases depression among the
individual and affect the mental health. Thus, it can be stated that due to pandemic, people
actually affected negatively in term of physical and mentally (McFadden and et.al., 2021). Also,
there has been poorly protected low paid jobs that causes negative impact over the people and
created negative impact. Overall, it can be stated that due to increasing poverty rate, lack of
resources and job loss, most of the people actually suffered a lot during the time of pandemic. On
the other side, due to lockdown situation, the pandemic also somehow increases the social
connectivity of people by increasing physical distance. At this time, people start connecting with
social media and give time to their families which in turn assist to reduce conflicts and
disparities. Also, the role of personality also plays an important role in protecting people’s well-
being at the time of pandemic and the pattern of results can be seen through virtual chatting
because people are engaging more on social activities that help to improve the social
connectivity. Hence, it can be stated that Covid-19 somehow affects the entire person life but it
also provides a chance to focus upon their relation and family.

Conclusion
By summing up above report it has been concluded that Covid-19 has a direct impact
over the health, economics and social care and though government take many steps in order to
reduce the negative impact over them. Through the statistic, it has been identified that at 2020
when the virus is spreading all over the world then scientist, healthcare workers are not aware of
such things and it create a negative impact over the human life. Not only this, it also have a
negative impact over the economy of a country and the GDP of UK decreases quickly and it
takes time to manage the same.
