Health Minister Matt Hancock said in a statement in parliament that it will take time to see the benefits of the vaccine, which was launched last week, and that you must persevere and be patient to the end.
Noting that there is a “strong” increase in the number of cases in the east and southeast of England, as well as in London, Hancock explained that the virus has mutated and more than 1000 people have been infected with this new species.
‘HAPPY VIRUS IN 60 LOCAL REGIONS’
Viruses have been claimed to have mutated in 60 local government regions so far, and it is believed to be similar to the mutation discovered in other countries in recent months.
Stating that the number of cases increased rapidly with this type and reported to the World Health Organization (WHO), Hancock emphasized that this species is unlikely to cause more serious diseases than other species. The Health Minister said there is currently no evidence that the new mutation does not respond to COVID-19 vaccines available across the country.
Speaking to Sky News, Dr Bharat Pankhania, a senior clinical professor at the University of Exeter, said he was “very confident that they would not have to remodel vaccines.”

‘HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE NEW STILL UNKNOWN SPECIES’
Stating that London, Essex and some regions of Hertfordshire will move to the third stage where the strictest measures will take place on Wednesday, starting at 00.01, Hancock said they do not yet know how effective the new species is in increasing in this places.
Noting that the virus has spread not only among the young but also among those over 60, Hancock said: “We must act now to change course because there is no time to lose.” said.
