LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson went into isolation after a contact tested positive for the coronavirus, as a stay-at-home advisory came into effect for the United States’ third-biggest city on Monday. Elsewhere on the continent, Germany warned that its anti-virus measures were likely to stay in place for several months. Their rival Sanofi’s vaccine, however, will not need such extreme temperatures, the French drugmaker’s chief Olivier Bogillot said Sunday. “Our vaccine will be like the ‘flu vaccine,” he told CNews. “You can keep it in your refrigerator.”Sanofi’s vaccine candidate could begin Phase 3 trials soon, he added.
