Two international studies, one of which came from America’s Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), both found a clear link between obesity and COVID-19-related deaths.
Australian doctor Zac Turner fears that this will affect everyone, not just Aussies who are overweight.
“If you are obese, you have a 60 per cent higher chance of being hospitalised (for the virus),” Dr Turner told news.com.au. “COVID-19 hits obese people longer and more severely than anyone else.”
