Incredibly exciting news the Oxford vaccine has proved so effective in trials. There are still further safety checks ahead, but these are fantastic results.
Well done to our brilliant scientists at @UniofOxford & @AstraZeneca, and all who volunteered in the trials. twitter.com/UniofOxford/st…

Great to speak with the team at @UniofOxford & @AstraZeneca this morning to thank them for their brilliant work on the #OxfordVaccine.

The success of our efforts, which we are already seeing, will come all the faster if we follow the guidance, maintain the basic disciplines that have got us through thus far, and together - we will beat this virus.

National restrictions end on 2nd December across England.
But without sensible precautions, we risk the virus escalating over winter.
So we are returning to a tiered approach, applying the toughest measures where the virus is most prevalent.

Brilliant news that there are now 14,800 more nurses than this time last year. Nurses are there for us in our time of greatest need, and we are so grateful for all that they do.
We're well on our way to meeting our manifesto commitment of 50,000 more nurses over this Parliament.

Together we have prevented our NHS from being overwhelmed, but those dangers have not gone away.
If we ease off now, we risk losing control of this virus all over again. The tough measures in our Winter Plan are the best way to avoid this outcome.

Hugely promising breakthrough that could transform how we diagnose & treat cancer which still takes too many before their time.
Another example of UK scientific leadership. Thank you to all our brilliant scientists and our NHS who helped make this happen. twitter.com/NHSEngland/sta…

My thoughts are with my friend @TaylorOBE on the 20th anniversary of the tragic death of his son Damilola Taylor. Whilst we cannot gather in memory today, we can remember that Damilola wanted to make the world a better place to live in & we can work together to make that happen. twitter.com/DTTlondon/stat…

Earlier I went to @PHE_uk Porton Down to see work on the rapid lateral flow tests that have been used in Liverpool to find asymptomatic coronavirus cases.
We want areas in Tier 3 to think about community testing so that together we can beat the disease.

Colombia has committed to an impressive 51% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
Together we can build back greener. I welcome President @IvanDuque's leadership & look forward to working together ahead of the Climate Ambition Summit on 12 Dec and @COP26 in Glasgow next year.

Warmest wishes to the Sikh community commemorating Guru Nanak #Gurpurab – the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, founder of the Sikh faith.
Celebrations sadly won’t be the same this year, but I enormously appreciate the monumental effort you’ve made in helping us to fight this virus.

We're preparing now so we are ready to roll out vaccines as soon as they have gone through all the safety and regulatory checks.

On #WorldAIDSDay we remember those who have died of AIDS and stand with those living with HIV today.
Our aim is to end HIV transmission by 2030 and help better the lives of HIV+ people with quick access to antiretroviral therapies and the roll out of PrEP across the country.

Good to be chairing Cabinet this morning. We’re continuing in our efforts to fight the virus, but we must hold out against it. We now have reason to hope that by spring, community testing and vaccines will combine to end this era of restrictions.

It’s fantastic that @MHRAgovuk has formally authorised the @pfizer/@BioNTech_Group vaccine for Covid-19. The vaccine will begin to be made available across the UK from next week. (1/2)

It’s the protection of vaccines that will ultimately allow us to reclaim our lives and get the economy moving again. (2/2)
