INTRODUCTION
Statics is the evaluation of the internal and the external factors of the data. The
organisation used the statistical information from the government site to ascertain the conditions

rates in the UK country (Adam, 2020 ALTINER, 2019 ). The affect of corona virus has

TASK 1
The Consequence Covid-19 in UK.
Covid -19 is the most harmful virus that has spread not in one country but across all over the
world. It is the first time in the world that it has impact on the operations of the businesses. The
UK country beared many affects such as the death rate has increased, deficiencies of the medical
equipments, non availability of the bed problems raised in the economy. It has been observed
from the previous five years information that there are the 10,198 death occurred and it was the
7.4% in terms of the percentage. These are the major challenges that businesses faced during the
lockdown situation (Cai, and Gut, 2020). It made the harder for the people to survive and to
spend the money on the treatment of the family patients. After the ending of the stages of the
corona the new variant is outburst in the country. It becomes difficult for the country to make
them calm and they get frustrated owing to the epidemic. The charts or graphs is used to estimate
the death rates of the UK. It has noted that total 1918 deaths registered in the corona report and it
was shocking to see that cases had risen to 33000 individual in the following month. This news
has worsen the country situation and people got panic from this. Sometimes the cases were
increasing and reducing it is because the public is not following the rules of the lockdown. In the
mid of the November 2021 the UK government has given leniency to the people and it impact
negatively cases were rising at the peak point. It is recorded by the charts that is discussed
below.

Impact of COVID-19 on healthcare in the UK.
The major troubles that is suffered by the UK administration on the health care industry due to
corona pandemic. There is no sign is observed of decreasing the cases of Covid in the nation.
The health sector suffered inadequacy of the dispensaries, beds, medicines, cylinder of oxygen,
ventilators and the several hospital equipments. The people died due to not getting the proper
treatment and has lost the life (Dhital, H., 2018). The rich people who have enough money also
die due to the poor performance of the health sector. This has major impact on the lungs of the
people and they can not recovered them from them in the long term.
Covid 19 affect on the Unemployment sector:
The important factor that has affect on the economy is the employment sector. The employment
helps to raise the national income of the national country. It is determined that if people get
employment then they will spend the money to purchase the resources and to modify the
functions. It also has the unfavourable affect because the unemployment rate had increased in
the country (Farhana, Z. and Chowdhury, S.A., 2019). It slow down the performance and growth
of the country. In covid 19 many people gets unemployed some lost their jobs and some people
had to close the operations of the businesses. In the year 2020 month of January the total of
jobless people were 9,43,000 that is the big figure for any country. From this the rate of the
unemployment was rising continuously and becomes difficult for the the UK country to
maintain the position in the market. The principal reason of this is the closing down of the
businesses functions. The imposition of severe lockdown restrictions by the administration has
stopped the execution of the industries. It will cease the industry to give the salary to their staffs
and to maintain stability in the market for the long run and company has started to fired the
workers from the company and businesses (Kleib, and Nagle, 2018).
