British housing minister Robert Jenrick said that production of tests would double next week and ramp up thereafter. Ryan also said that several vaccines were in development, but only one had begun trials in the United States. Asked how long it would take before there was a vaccine available in Britain, he said that people needed to be realistic. “We have to make sure that it’s absolutely safe... we are talking at least a year,” he said. “The vaccines will come, but we need to get out and do what we need to do now.”
