  • Story Text:Residents in the British city of Bolton lined up outside a mobile vaccination centre on Sunday (May 16) in response to surging cases of coronavirus variants in northwest England.
    Britain's government is anxious about the spread of the COVID-19 variant first detected in India and rules nothing out to tackle a sharp rise in cases of it, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Thursday (May 13).
    Johnson has laid out what he describes as a "cautious but irreversible" route out of lockdown for England, with the next step planned for next week. He has warned that new mutants, such as the B.1.617.2 variant, pose a risk to that plan.
