Britain Virus (Homeless) Outbreak

Homeless people in the United Kingdom facing the risk of death from Coronavirus as they're the most vulnerable in regards to protection against Covid-19. Many homeless men and women are seen in central London, the British capital throughout the week, while the government is increasing pressures on its residents to self-isolate. Last years alone, 320,000 people were recorded as homeless in Britain, analysis from housing charity Shelter suggests. It is a rise of 13,000, or 4%, on last year's figures and equivalent to 36 new people becoming homeless every day.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. (Photo/Vudi Xhymshiti)
