LONDON, May 29 (Xinhua) The India-related coronavirus variant could pick up speed and become a big problem in Britain as the country further eases its lockdown, a British expert warned Saturday.
Britain s fight against coronavirus could turn bad very, very quickly unless the government acts cautiously on easing lockdown further, professor Tim Gowers from the University of Cambridge told The Guardian newspaper. So I think if that s the way you re going to play things, then you should be very, very cautious about every step you take . And maybe everything (will) be okay, maybe the number of people who are vaccinated will be just enough, he said.
