UK is more likely to see a summer surge in covid-19 cases, as many adults are yet to be vaccinated, said a British government advisory scientist.
On Wednesday, Professor Adam Finn, of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization (JCVI), an independent expert advisory committee that advises health departments on immunization, said modelling shows coronavirus cases will rise in the summer as lockdown is relaxed, Xinhua news agency reported.
"The models that we've seen on JCVI clearly point to a summer surge in cases as the lockdown is relaxed, because there are still many people in the adult population who've not been immunized," he told the BBC.
