Poorest twice as likely to die from coronavirus in UK - BBC News

The coronavirus pandemic has hit the poor, vulnerable and those living in deprived areas the hardest.

The government say they are committed to reducing deprivation and have spent tens of billions of pounds in welfare support this year.
