Oxford University researchers will begin human trials of a potential vaccine for coronavirus tomorrow.

And a delayed shipment of protective equipment has finally arrived in the UK from Turkey, but this morning the government is facing fresh questions over why it didn't sign up to an EU-wide effort to source crucial items early in the crisis. The row comes as Oxford University announced it is to begin human trials for a potential Coronavirus vaccine from tomorrow. The number of people who've died across the UK now stands at 17,337 - yesterday, the Public Health Agency announced nine more people had died in hospitals in Northern Ireland. Behind every statistic is a father, mother, brother, sister, son and daughter. Like Pat McManus - a 60 year old nurse from Strabane, who died in Staffordshire in England at the weekend after being diagnosed with Covid-19. He was a nurse for 40 years.
