The variant appears to spread more easily than the Kent strain, which was behind huge spike in infections this winter.
According to a study by Public Health England (PHE), the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are highly effective against the Indian variant after two doses. However, the vaccines were only 33 per cent effective three weeks after the first dose.

Prime minister Boris Johnson had cautioned that outbreaks of the new variant could threaten plans to end all lockdown restrictions on June 21.
Following the release of the PHE data, several ministers have suggested lockdown easing could go ahead as planned as long as enough people have received two doses of the Covid vaccine.
