Coronavirus updates as they happened: WHO warns against 'vaccine nationalism' - BBC News
The head of the World Health Organization stresses that "no one is safe until everyone is safe".
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced details of a major shake-up of the government bodies tackling the spread of coronavirus in England.

The pandemic response work of Public Health England will be merged with NHS Test and Trace to form a new body called the National Institute for Health Protection.

It is to start work immediately under the interim leadership of Lady Harding, who is the head of Test and Trace.

The reorganisation of two Covid-19 response bodies into one makes sense. But some have questioned whether it makes sense right now – just weeks away from a possible surge in cases, when children return to school and people go back to work.

Labour's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said he was worried that a structural reorganisation mid-pandemic would be “time consuming, energy-sapping and risky”. He described the move as “irresponsible”.

The appointment of the former mobile phone company chief executive, Dido Harding, as interim leader of the National Institute is also controversial.

NHS Test and Trace has not yet been able to identify enough potentially infected people fast enough to stamp out possible outbreaks.

Some in the public health sector would prefer to see a scientist leading the new organisation.

One described Lady Harding’s appointment as making as much sense as giving England’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, the job of “Vodafone’s head of branding and corporate image".
