Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said Britain cannot rely on a vaccine to end the coronavirus crisis and will need to use other measures to slow the pandemic, reported Reuters.

“We can't, in my view, rely on that [...] it may happen, we are working flat out to ensure that it does, but we can't just count on that,” Johnson told a press conference. “That is why we have to do all the other things that we are doing.”
