TASK 1
Introduction
The present section of the report is entirely based upon the pandemic that how it affected
the entire life of the people along with fluctuation noticed on economy. For that, the report is
based upon the ONS data in order to generate the better outcome and understand how pandemic
affected the entire social life, healthcare into negative manner. In order to present the answer,
graphical representation will be used that help to present the data in more systematic manner.
Covid-19 in UK
The entire world is affected negatively due to pandemic and this in turn reflected that all
the business shut their business except the essential services. This is because the government put
a strict lockdown in the countries and this shaken the economic condition of the company into
negative manner (Rezel-Potts and et.al., 2022). Further, there has been a rapid fall identified
within the overall economy of a country and this in turn shows that it affect the entire system
along with business operations.
Further, the above graph it has been clearly indicated that there is a fluctuating trend
identified within the death rate of the country and this in turn shows that the death rate of the
country is keep increases from the starting of the year. The rationale for the same is such that the
medical team of the country do not have enough equipment in order to combat from the situation
and this lead to increase the death rate of the country. However, there is a sudden fall identified

at the end of 2020 which is due to create awareness and individuals taken their own precautions.
This in turn reflected that initially, medial system is not able to cope with the situation and this
cause negative impact over the country.
Covid-19 on healthcare in UK
The healthcare facility offered by the UK government at the time of pandemic is worst
because the officers were not prepared effectively in order to cope up the situation. This is
because the number of increasing cases along with death rate. Apart from this, a strict lockdown
also restrict the transportation and this also contribute to increase the number of cases within a
country (Chen and Lucock, 2022). Hence, it has been identified that the situation of the country
is deteriorating due to lack of healthcare facility and expertise in order to improve the situation.
As per the above graph, it has been also identified that the total cases of coronavirus is
around 20413731 as per the data provided by the government which in turn indicated that the
country is highly suffered by the covid patients. Along with this, the number of deaths registered
till the March 2022 is 164123 which is highest. This is all because the medical staff is not well
prepared to provide strategies to improve the situation and as a result, the cases increases initially
along with the death rates. However, the recovered rate is also good because there were around
20233530 cases recovered and this in turn reflected that there were minimum death cases as
compared to other by the end of the pandemic in the year 2022.

COVID-19 on the economy in the UK
The pandemic has created great impact over the economic condition of the country
because there was lockdown and this affected the working of the whole economy to a great
extent. along with this the pandemic has affected the working of the whole economy to a great
extent. the most crucial impact which was lead on the economy was over the employment
(Keogh-Brown and et.al., 2020). This is pertaining to the fact that due to lockdown the shops and
business was shut and many people were removed from their job. Hence this was the major
impact which was being created by the pandemic over the economy of UK.
With the help of the above chart it is clear that in the month of January the
unemployment was maximum. After that the pandemic also started to decline and so as the
unemployment. With the above bar chart it is clear that unemployment was fluctuating and this
implies that the working efficiency of the economy of UK is not stable.
COVID-19 on social life
The current pandemic has created an impact over the social life of the person to a great
extent. This is pertaining to the fact when the pandemic was hit at that time the people were very
frustrated as they were not allowed to go anywhere. Thus, this affected the mental level and

social life of the people living. Also the pandemic resulted in lockdown for the people and they
were not allowed to go to anywhere (Shakespeare, Ndagire and Seketi, 2021). Hence, for this it
affected the working of the person and their social life. This is because of the reason that the due
to the lockdown people were not allowed to meet one another and due to they were not having
social interaction. This in turn affected the working efficiency of the people and were not having
any access to meet others. Along with this, even after the lockdown was removed the people
were having a fear that when they will meet others then they might get infected and this can
affect their health of the person.
With the help of the above chart it is also clear that due to the pandemic the food
consumption of the people has also reduced. This simply means that due to pandemic, the people
have also reduced the food consumption outside and this affects the working of the company and
the people to a great extent.
Conclusion
By summing up above, it has been concluded that the pandemic affected the entire
country into negative manner because there were number of cases increases from 2020 onward
and this might affect the economic rate of the country as well. The unemployment rate of the
country has also increases which disturb the social life of people into negative manner. That is

why, it has been identified that initial due to lack of resources, country faced an adverse
situation.
