London: The UK government on Monday launched a new anti-obesity drive to help people lose weight and become healthier after what has been pegged as a Covid-19 “wake up call”.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has himself lost weight since his own hospitalization after testing positive for the deadly coronavirus earlier this year, said that getting fitter is important to help protect against the virus as well as the state-funded National Health Service (NHS) from added pressures.
