Next few winters will see coronavirus risk, says England's medical officer

Mon, 22nd Feb 2021 19:35

LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Cases of coronavirus and deaths
caused by it will be a problem in the next few winters to come
in Britain even with widespread vaccinations, England's chief
medical officer, Chris Whitty, said on Monday.

"I think people need to see it in that way ... this is
something where the vaccination will take the rates right down
but they will not get rid of this," he told a news conference.

"This is something we have to see for the long term and it
is my view that it is likely to be a problem in the winter for
the next few winters."
