Researchers at virology lab allegedly fell ill with covid-like symptoms in November 2019
Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology sought hospital care in November 2019 with symptoms consistent with covid-19,
The Wall Street Journal has reported citing a US intelligence report. China’s Foreign Ministry and the director of the Wuhan National Biosafety Lab have denied the report, which has ignited further speculation about the origin of the covid-19 pandemic. The emergence of a novel coronavirus was first reported in Wuhan in December 2019. A World Health Organization investigation previously found that workers at the lab showed no evidence of having been infected with the virus and concluded that a laboratory origin was highly unlikely.

Contact tracing delays affected eight local authorities in England in April and May
In parts of England, delays in tracing those who had contact with people who tested positive for the coronavirus may have contributed to the spread of the B.1.617.2 variant of the virus, according to local public health reports.

The reports, seen by the BBC, suggest that failures in England’s NHS Test and Trace system in April and May affected eight local authorities in England, including Blackburn with Darwen, which has seen a recent surge in cases linked to the variant. The BBC reported that, although it is thought that people tested for the virus received their results, local authority staff weren’t provided with contact-tracing information through the central system. Other areas affected by this were Blackpool, York, Bath, North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock.

Covid-19 news: Antibody levels could help predict vaccine efficacy

Latest coronavirus news as of 5pm on 17 May
Antibody levels could help predict the level of protection a person has to covid-19 following vaccination or after natural infection
A person’s levels of neutralising antibodies following covid-19 vaccination or natural infection could help predict their level of immune protection, a study suggests. Neutralising antibodies are able to successfully bind to a virus, reducing its ability to infect other cells. David Khoury at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and colleagues analysed data from seven covid-19 vaccine studies and one study of people who had been infected with the coronavirus and recovered. Using data on immune responses and observed protection from symptomatic coronavirus infection, the researchers modelled the relationship between neutralising antibody levels and protection from disease. The team found that neutralising antibody levels were highly predictive of immune protection, and could be used to predict the efficacy of a different covid-19 vaccine.
