UK PM on AstraZeneca vaccine, schools reopening

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Monday that tougher measures will be announced in England to stop the spread of the new virus variant.

During a visit at a London hospital, Johnson stressed that while he understood people's apprehension in sending their children back to class, schools were safe.

He added that possible delays to the UK's vaccine rollout would not be because of the lack of supply or staff, but because every batch must be approved before being given to patients.
