Vaccines and treatments could mean that - by the end of the year - Covid-19 is an illness we can live with "like we do flu", the health secretary has said.
Matt Han**** told the Daily Telegraph he hoped new drugs by the end of 2021 could make Covid a "treatable disease".
The drugs - and vaccines - represent "our way out to freedom", he said.
However, scientists have warned against treating coronavirus like the flu, as mutations are getting "more dangerous" and "more infectious".
