Article summary

The Institute for Government (IfG) has published a report summarising the outcome of roundtable talks it held with several participants on coronavirus (COVID-19). The roundtables were held to discuss the future of coronavirus, which included discussion about rapid antigenic evolution and how to avoid worst case scenarios moving forward. The report also considers the policy implications of the virus, such as policymakers coming to terms with a ‘new normal’ and the need for a significant increase in global vaccine sharing.
