Restrictions are “possible” next winter if other countries don’t reach sufficient vaccination levels, a UK leading scientist has warned.
As The Guardian reports, Imperial College’s Prof Azra Ghani told Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday:
“It is possible. We are very much hoping that the vaccine will enable us really to go back to as normal a life as possible but we have to remember that the virus is still circulating globally and even if the UK is fully vaccinated, it is likely that we will get importations continue and that’s why it is also incredibly important that we support wider efforts to ensure vaccination is available to all countries.”
She said that cases in the UK are coming down.
