COVID-19: Life won't return to normal for at least two years, expert warns

- SKY NEWS - Jan 30, 2021 -

Data currently indicates it will be 2023/24 before vaccines are distributed to everybody

The coronavirus pandemic will not be over and restrictions lifted until it has been tackled worldwide, Sky News is told.

Life globally will not return to normal for two or three years based on the rate of the current vaccination rollout, it has been warned - but there are early signs jabs are reducing cases in the UK.

Speaking to Sky News, Dr Clare Wenham, assistant professor of global health policy at London School of Economics, said the COVID-19 pandemic will not be over until the world's population is protected.

"At the moment, the data is showing it's going to be 2023/24 before the global vaccines are distributed to everybody," she said.

"That's a long time. And distributing some now might be able to get us back to normal life sooner."
