Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Johnson: Indian Covid variant could jeopardise June reopening” – below is their description.
The Indian Covid variant could pose a threat to England’s roadmap out of lockdown, Boris Johnson warned, as he announced second vaccine doses for the over-50s would be accelerated to combat its spread. ‘The race between our vaccination programme and the virus may be about to become a great deal tighter,’ the prime minister said. While he insisted the planned easing of restrictions on 17 May would go ahead as planned, Johnson said, ‘This new variant could pose a serious disruption to our progress.’
