Obesity may double the risk of needing hospital treatment leading to coronavirus, a new study has warned. Scientists from Glasgow University after reviewing data from more than 400,000 people found that when body mass index increases, the risk of having a severe case of Covid-19 also doubles up. Experts claim these health factors like obesity are potential reasons for why Britain has Europe’s highest death toll.
