As it has been observed that individual who are suffering from additional diseases such as
cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes and malignant cancer were state to be surrounded by

Overall, it has been concluded that coronavirus is dangerous threat among people. The
adverse affect of corona various has been impacted individual's social, mental as well as physical
health. It is caused due to SARS-CoV-2 virus in the body and represents negative symptoms
such as respiratory issues and individuals who are already suffering from existing one disease
such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes etc. have high risk from coronavirus. Due to negative
impact of corona virus it has contributed in mortality rate, which has been estimated in million.
The economic impact of coronavirus has been registered as decline and also socially, individuals
were most likely to avoid. According to my personal opinion, coronavirus is termed to affecting
disease. During the pandemic, I have witnessed that people were struggling with their health in
hospitals, while other were dealing issues of mental distress while caging their selves at their
home. The shut-over all over world has also impacted economic factors of UK as well.
