It was the end of 2019 when the first ever case of coronavirus popped up in China and since then, there was an outburst and absolute pandemonium broke out across the world. Also known as Covid-19 because of the year of origin of the virus, it’s been a year since this widespread disease came into existence.
While the first few months of 2020 saw millions of people hiding within their homes in complete lockdown situations, citizens have started getting more relaxed as there was no talks of a cure or vaccine in the picture. In fact, while hundreds of companies were working on a vaccine, reports suggested that it may be well into 2021 or 2022 that it may actually come out.
Worse still, some reports and organizations suggested that we may have to learn to live wit this virus, with examples of AIDS and cancer – diseases that haven’t found a cure since decades. However, Read Scoops brings to you some good news today as the UK Government went on to approve the first ever Covid-19 vaccine in the world.

The vaccine will be made available across the UK from next week,” commented the UK government on this development.
