Jonathan Van-Tam has said we may have to live with the coronavirus for several years unless a vaccine is found.
The deputy chief medical officer added that as the virus is so new, they don’t yet ‘fully understand’ it.
Van-Tam’s comments come as part of the daily coronavirus press briefing at 10 Downing Street.
