英国的福利国家突然面临一个新的挑战--在新冠肺炎（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病）大流行期间维持国家运转。最直接的压力是卫生服务，其科普需要住院治疗的人数的能力现在对该国的经济活动造成了限制。但是，在连续几年控制对工作年龄人群的福利供给规模之后，政府现在也通过社会保障体系对那些失去收入的人提供了更高水平的支持，并以前所未有的规模对工作人员的工资进行补贴。
Britain’s welfare state has suddenly been presented with a new challenge–to keep the country afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic. The most immediate pressure is on the health service, whose ability to cope with the numbers needing hospital care is now imposing a constraint on the country’s economic activity. But, after successive years of reining back the scale of welfare provision to those of working age, the government is now also providing–via the social security system–increased levels of support to those who have lost their incomes, as well as subsidising on an unprecedented scale the salaries of those in work.
