Scientists in London are close to developing a vaccine for the Covid-19 strain of coronavirus, they have said.

Trials have already successfully been completed in mice and could be ready for human trials by June.

The experiments are being led at Imperial College London by Mucosal Infection and Immunity head Dr Robin Shattock.

They have called for more funding and said a vaccine could be available next year.
