The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic spread to the United Kingdom in late January 2020. Government figures report that by 16 May there had been 240,161 confirmed cases and 34,466 deaths overall (see ). More than 90% of those dying had underlying illnesses or were over 60 years old. The infection rate is higher in care homes than in the community, which is inflating the overall infection rate. There is large regional variation in the outbreak's severity. London has the highest number of infections while North East England has the highest infection rate. England and Wales are the UK countries with the highest recorded death rate per capita, while Northern Ireland has the lowest per capita. Healthcare in the UK is devolved to each country. The Department of Health and Social Care launched a public health information campaign to help slow the virus's spread, and began posting daily updates in early February. In February, the Heath Secretary, Matt Hancock, introduced the Health Protection (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020, and hospitals set up drive-through screening. The Chief Medical Officer for England, Chris Whitty, outlined a four-pronged strategy to tackle the outbreak: contain, delay, research and mitigate. Transmission within the UK was first documented on 28 February, and by 1 March there were cases in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The government unveiled the Coronavirus Action Plan, and declared the outbreak a "level 4 incident". On 11 March, the outbreak was declared a pandemic. Four days later—following the outbreak in Italy, and based on forecasting by epidemiologists at Imperial College London—the government said everyone should avoid all "non-essential" travel and contact with others, avoid crowds, and work from home if possible. Those with symptoms, and their household, were asked to self-isolate. Pregnant women, the over 70s, and those with certain illnesses were asked to self-isolate for longer. Panic buying was reported. On 20 March, the four governments shut all schools, restaurants, pubs, indoor entertainment venues and leisure centres, with some exceptions. On 23 March, the UK government imposed a lockdown on the whole population, banning all "non-essential" travel and contact with people outside one's home (including family and partners), and shutting almost all businesses, venues, facilities, amenities and places of worship. People were told to keep apart in public. Police were empowered to enforce the lockdown, and the Coronavirus Act 2020 gave the government emergency powers not used since the Second World War. It is forecast that a lengthy lockdown will severely damage the UK economy, lead to millions of job losses, worsen mental health and suicide rates, and cause "collateral" deaths due to isolation, delays and falling living standards. Researchers suggest the lockdown could be lifted by shielding only the most vulnerable and using contact tracing. Lockdown restrictions are also a devolved matter. All four national health services (NHS Wales, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland) worked to raise hospital capacity and set up temporary critical care hospitals. By mid-April NHS Providers, the membership organisation for NHS trusts in England, predicted it could now cope with a peak in cases, and it was reported that social distancing had "flattened the curve" of the epidemic. By late April, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the UK had passed the peak of its outbreak.
