Ms Peacock said: “The Kent variant has swept the country and it’s going to sweep the world, in all probability.”

“Once we get on top of [the virus] or it mutates itself out of being virulent – causing disease – then we can stop worrying about it.

“But I think, looking in the future, we’re going to be doing this for years.

“We’re still going to be doing this 10 years down the line, in my view.”
