UK COVID cases to go ‘far higher’ – health secretary

The number of coronavirus infections in the United Kingdom is foreseen to rise “far higher,” and could double by July 19, Health Secretary Sajid Javid said on Tuesday. Nevertheless, he added the rise in cases has not resulted in more hospitalizations and deaths “because the vaccine is working, that’s what the vaccine is for.”

In a Sky News interview, Javid also acknowledged there is a “real risk of a vaccine-resistant variant” appearing in the future, but affirmed the UK must “learn to live” with COVID-19. “We can’t live in a world where the only thing we are thinking about is COVID and not about all the other health problems, not about our economic problems, or education challenges, and we have to make use of a vaccine that is thankfully working,” Javid stated.
