Professor Sharon Peacock, director of the Covid-19 Genomics UK Consortium (Cog-UK), said the situation in Britain now appeared to be “quite contained”, but insisted that “we have to be vigilant as ever” and “keep watching every day and every week to make sure” the virus is kept under control.
Speaking at a webinar as part of the Royal Society of Medicine’s Covid-19 series, she added that it was unlikely the virus would evolve to become resistant to the current generation of vaccines.
