#COVID19 means the geography of vulnerabilities in England has shifted away from traditional North–South or urban–rural divides.
Policymakers at different levels will need to coordinate their response.

There is a ‘patchwork’ of vulnerability to the #coronavirus crisis across England. But some local authorities do look vulnerable in multiple ways.
There are nine local authorities where public health, local jobs and families are all more vulnerable to the crisis than average.

Vulnerabilities to the #COVID19 crisis do not always overlap geographically.
Areas where residents look particularly vulnerable to the health effects aren't in general those likely to be hit hardest by job losses. Areas with more children at risk tend to be different again.

Many coastal areas are highly vulnerable to the health and the economic impacts of the crisis. They have older populations and economies reliant on sectors like tourism.
They're already relatively disadvantaged, so the crisis could increase inequalities with non-coastal areas.
