"The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said: "We understand the reasons the government has made this decision, and remain ready to work with them to ensure supporters can safely return to stadiums when government advice allows. Fans will not be allowed to attend the pilot sports events scheduled for this weekend in England after a spike in coronavirus cases, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.Spectators were due to watch the first two days of two county cricket matches, while 205 fans were at the start of the World Snooker Championship on Friday.It was also hoped to allow 4,000 racegoers at Goodwood on Saturday.The new restrictions on fans will be enforced until at least 15 August.The announcement comes after general restrictions were "Pilots of larger crowds at sports venues will not take place," Johnson said at a news conference on Friday. Media playback is not supported on this device UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is on a mission to tackle his nation’s obesity epidemic after being hospitalised with COVID-19, and health experts say Australia should follow suit.The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the health risks of obesity, with research showing an increased risk of severe illness among obese and overweight people.For Mr Johnson, who shed six kilograms during a stay in the intensive care unit, the issue is personal.“I’ve always wanted to lose weight for ages and ages and like many people I struggle with my weight, I go up and down. But since I recovered from coronavirus I have been steadily building up my fitness,” he said on Monday.Mr Johnson is now turning the heat up on fast food giants with a suite of new policies.They include outlawing buy-one-get-one-free junk food deals, and a ban on advertising unhealthy foods before 9pm on TV and online.Public health advocates “welcome the progress” on the long-standing issue and “we would certainly hope that Australia follows suit,” The George Institute for Global Health research fellow Alexandra Jones told “I think in the UK what we’ve seen is a political window of opportunity, caused by Boris Johnson himself being sick from coronavirus, and then being very willing to admit that the severity of his illness was because of his weight,” Dr Jones said.Australia’s obesity epidemic is almost as bad as England’s, where Concerningly, the proportion of obese adults is continuing to rise.“The important thing to remember is that obesity already makes us vulnerable to cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, which are already causes significant illness in Australia,” Dr Jones said.“But now there’s also evidence emerging that obesity makes us more vulnerable to COVID-19 and what the evidence consistently is shown now that living with excess weight puts people at greater risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19.”This means that “your risk grows as your body mass index (BMI) grows”, she said.Mr Johnson’s moves to tackle obesity have been prompted by the toll it has taken on the UK’s health care system during the pandemic, Dr Jones said.The coronavirus pandemic has caused the NHS to buckle, with 45,759 deaths from COVID-19 to date compared to 161 in Australia.Australia has been “relatively lucky” with the number of“But if the numbers increased, then certainly, the fact that a large proportion of our population is overweight or obese either would put greater strain on the health system.”Coronavirus restrictions “do make it more difficult to be active, to maintain a healthy diet and sleep well”, Dr Jones said.Dr Jones said Mr Johnson’s approach of not simply urging individuals to improve their health but taking “meaningful regulatory action to improve the food environment for people” should be replicated by Australia’s policy makers.“It’s very easy for us to tell people to be healthy, but if we’re currently operating in an environment where we’re always marketed junk food, it’s very hard for us to actually make good choices,” she said.Measures that Australia should adopt from the UK include a ‘sugar tax’ – which has seen the amount of sugar in UK drinks fall by 28 per cent –and a ban on “Australia has been a global leader in tobacco control, and it would be great if we could show the same political will to improve Australia’s diets and put health over the profits of the food industry,” she said.“Health groups have been calling for action on this for a long time.”Copyright © 2020 The New Daily.
