Britain hopes to provide tens of millions of vaccinations over the next three months, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Sunday, as the UK faces record levels of cases off covert 19 that are rising, fueled by a new and more transmissible variant of the virus.

That's forced Johnson's government to cancel the planned reopening of schools in and around the capital of London and there are calls from teaching unions for wider closures.

But speaking on the BBC's Andrew Marr show, the prime minister urged parents to send their Children to schools in areas where rules allow it.

Schools are safe, very, very important to stress that the threat to the risk Thio kids to young people is really very, very, very small.

Indeed, as the scientists continually attest, risk to staff is very small, Johnson said.

K will have 530,000 doses off the Oxford AstraZeneca covert 19 vaccine ready to administer on Monday.

But he also warned that the government might need to consider tightening locked down restrictions.

He declined to give examples of what that might look like.

I don't I'm fully fully reconciled to that.

Britain recorded 57,725 new cases of the virus on Saturday and was more than 74,000 deaths so far during the pandemic.

 The government's response has been heavily criticized.
