Professor Andrew Pollard said the country has seen the "extraordinary success" of both the vaccination programme and the "prolonged" lockdown. "Here in the UK we've had remarkable success through the vaccine programme and that is getting closer to happening, but from a global perspective there's such a long way to go." Asked if the game could be played in Britain, Mr Gove said: “I think it would be a really good thing.”
