LONDON, May 7 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said on Friday the government needed to handle carefully
the emergence of new coronavirus strains first found in India
which have since started to spread in the United Kingdom.

"I think we've got to be very careful about that. We're
doing a huge amount, obviously, to make sure that when we do
find outbreaks of the Indian variant that we do surge testing,
that we do door-to-door testing," he told reporters.
