Professor Pollard, head of the University of Oxford working group: “Long way to go, considering a global perspective” There is still ” a long way to go ” in the fight against coronavirus, given the variations and waves in progress. This was stated by Professor Andrew Pollard, head of the working group of the University of Oxford, interviewed by the BBC. “I think there will be a future without social distances and without more masks, but considering a global perspective we are still a long way off,” he said. ” In the UK we have had considerable success thanks to the vaccination program and this prospect is approaching, but compared to the global situation, there is a long way to go. ”
