COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom

The COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The virus reached the UK in late January 2020. As of 26 June 2021, there had been more than 4.7 million confirmed cases and 128,330 deaths among people who had recently tested positive – the world's nineteenth-highest death rate by population and the second-highest death toll in Europe. There has been some disparity between the outbreak's severity in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – health in the UK is devolved, with each of the four having its own publicly funded healthcare system and government.
