The UK has agreed to invest $ 18 million in a Scottish factory to produce a vaccine against "Covid-19" disease caused by infection with the emerging corona virus, in a move aimed at ensuring local production of the vaccine, according to "Bloomberg" news agency yesterday.
In Germany, a health official warned that the emerging coronavirus will remain in the country "for a long time" and that the health care system may face pressure.
This comes at a time when China, which relies on collective testing to combat the outbreak of the virus, plans to accelerate approvals to produce devices that guarantee rapid tests.
In the United States, the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, is scheduled to visit Taiwan to discuss an international response to the epidemic.
Businessman Bill Gates, whose foundation has pledged more than $ 350 million for Covid-19 research, said the United States must take a greater global trend in order for vaccines to be available to everyone.
