    DescriptionStill some fear the country could be ill-equipped in the event of a new variant arising. Thomas House, professor of mathematical sciences at Manchester university, said: “It’s a near certainty that a new variant will emerge by the end of the year and it will be a struggle to wind back up testing as quickly as needed.

    “We saw from Omicron just how quickly we need to respond.”
