EU to allow data to continue to flow to UK
Boris Johnson has called on G7 members to “make sure the whole world is vaccinated” and ensure that all countries “move together” out of the pandemic during the virtual summit’s first meeting.
The prime minister hosted the summit of the group of rich industrialised countries, which includes the US, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the EU. He also called on them to join together in focusing on the need for action to stem global warming.
The meeting also heard Mr Johnson promising to share the UK’s surplus vaccine doses to poorer nations and the European Commission doubling its contribution to the World Health Organisation’s Covax programme to 1 billion euros.
