I suspect that the underlying health conditions referred to relate to respiratory problems, people with asthma, for instance.

Happy to be corrected.

Respiratory issues such as asthma and COPD.

I agree Glammagran . I think it includes any heart or respiratory issues, diabetes and chronic kidney disease :-(

Deaths from coranavirus have been reported stating that the patients all had underlying health conditions. I assumed that these patients were already seriously ill from other causes. Now I read that one patient had high cholesterol and arthritis (same as me) and that high blood pressure (DH, under control) comes under this clause. So Iā€™m making the assumption that nearly all people 60+ have an underlying health condition. What do others think?
