This is a tour for Tory Prime Minister Boris Johnson, which has so far dealt with a pandemic that has infected four million people and killed more than 115,000 in a country of 66 million people, the most tragic in Europe.

By May, the government wants to vaccinate nine priority groups, which are 32 million vulnerable people or those over the age of 50, accounting for 99% of deaths. And all adults by September.
However, the Guardian newspaper on Friday quoted a survey by the industry association as saying that more than 400,000 of the 656,000 people providing home care for the elderly or vulnerable had not yet received the first dose.
