Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson (R) looks at samples at the Lateral Flow Testing Laboratory with Doctor Abbie Bown (L) during a visit to the Public Health England site at Porton Down science park on November 27, 2020. The Public Health England lab in Porton Down is working on a UK-made lateral coronavirus test, which aims to provide test results within minutes. The Prime Minister visited the lab a day after the new coronavirus tier system was announced. The new approach, which puts the vast majority of the population under tight restrictions, has faced backlash from many Conservative MPs who consider it to be too severe.
