Well-informed sources said that the UK will not join the European Union program to produce an emerging vaccine against the new Corona virus, in the latest test of its independent approach after its exit from the briquette.
The government of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has discussed participation in the program through which the bloc will spend more than two billion euros ($ 2.3 billion) on research to find a vaccine, according to Bloomberg News.
The newspaper "Daily Telegraph" reported that members of the British government are concerned about the "costly delays" in the program due to talks on distributing the costs, according to officials, who have not been identified.
The decision not to participate in European Union programs to obtain artificial respirators and personal protective equipment, although Britain has faced a shortage since the start of the epidemic, has sparked a row over whether ministers attach importance to "Brexit ideology" at the expense of saving lives.
