Covid-19 Update

Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 April 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19 Update.

Yes, of course, I will give that matter consideration. I also make the case that while, as we open up, there may be more transmission, I very much hope that that does not lead—in fact we know from the data that that is highly unlikely to lead—to the same impact in terms of hospitalisations and deaths, because we know that the vaccine is incredibly effective against the variants that are at large here in this country. That is another reason to be cautious against the incursion of new variants for which we cannot give that assurance.
