British Vaccine Minister Nadim Zahawi and Israeli Covid-19 advisor Ran Balicer discuss lessons learned from their successful coronavirus vaccine launches.
Surge testing has begun in South Gloucestershire after two cases of the Brazilian variant of Covid-19 were found. Residents who live within five postcode areas and are aged over 16 with no symptoms, are being urged to come forward for testing. The two cases of the new variant are from one household and originate from an individual who travelled back from Brazil on 10 February - five days before the quarantine hotel policy was introduced. The two cases are among three that have been detected in England so far, with authorities now trying to find the currently unidentified third that is not believed to be linked. Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi has said the surge testing in South Gloucestershire is a "precautionary measure". Report by Thomasl.

Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi said authorities are working with the postal service to locate a person infected with a concerning variant of coronavirus first found in Brazil. It is thought the person was tested on February 12 or 13, possibly via a home postal test or a test collected from a local authority. The vaccines minister urged anyone tested within this time who has not had a result back, to contact 119. Report by Thomasl.
