The UK government announced on Sunday that is providing additional funding for research into treating COVID-19.
Speaking at the daily media briefing, Business Secretary Alok Sharma said 84 million pounds will go toward developing a vaccine if trials at Oxford University are successful, and 93 million will be spent on the first UK vaccine manufacturing center, in Harwell.
