If the antibodies in the crown prove to be immune, it would be “something that changes everything,” because it would ease the restrictions, according to British Transport Minister Grant Saps.
The minister described as important the progress of the approval by the British health authorities of the antibody test for the virus by the Roche company. On the same subject, England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer Jonathan Van Tam said the tests will be available as soon as possible, in the coming days and weeks. He clarified that it would take time to determine whether the antibodies could protect against the virus and how long this protection could last. “The good news is that we now have antibody tests, which we can completely trust,” he said.

Coronation cases are declining in Britain
As for the rest of the pandemic data, he noted that new cases of coronavirus in the country are decreasing. According to the Ministry of Health, the new deaths from coronavirus in all the areas registered on the last day are 428 and their total is 33,614.

2 billion package for the transportation network.
Grant Sapps has announced a £ 2 billion financial package to improve the country’s transport network, adding that hundreds of millions have already been allocated for improvements to the rail and road networks.
The minister referred to the repairs, improvements and maintenance of the transport infrastructure carried out during the two months of closure. In particular, 419 projects were carried out on the railway network and around 1,000 updates, while for the improvements to the northern railway network alone, the cost amounted to 96 million. Interventions on the national rail network cost 550 million, while 200 million were allocated for improvements to the main road network in England.
Long-term support if social dialogue lasts a long time
Grant Saps responded to questions from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, warning that bus, tube, train and tram services would have to be cut across the capital if there were no government subsidies, as the two said. In recent months, the London Transport Authority (TfL) has lost 90% of its ticket and advertising revenue, with a monthly expense of around $ 600 million.
Saps expressed optimism that a solution could be found in TfL’s finances, but could not say whether any solution would provide long-term support, given that the measure of social distance over a crown would last for years. He said he was “convinced” that London buses and trains would continue to operate and that London Mayor Sadiq Khan could strengthen the network with more services.
Earlier, a government spokesman said talks about the TfL bailout were at an “advanced stage” and that a priority was to find an agreement that would maintain basic services for those passengers who need transportation to get to work. .
