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 I’m making the assumption that nearly all people 60+ have an underlying health condition. What do others think?
