The United Kingdom supports a new international instrument to strengthen pandemic prevention and preparedness. The purpose of the instrument is to strengthen global cooperation in order to better protect the UK from the health, social and economic impacts of pandemics. We want to agree UK priority areas such as improving transparency, timely data sharing and supporting equitable access to vaccines and treatments.
We are clear that the UK would not sign up to any instrument that compromises the UK\u2019s sovereignty. That includes any instrument which compromises the UK\u2019s ability to take domestic decisions on national restrictions or other measures. On the contrary, our support for a new pandemic instrument is intended to strengthen our ability to prevent, detect and respond to future health threats without the restrictions seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK has led from the front on learning to live with COVID-19 and will continue to do so at the forthcoming G7 and World Health Assembly.<\/p>"}

On 14 September, we set out our plan to sustain the progress made in combatting the virus and prepare the country for future challenges.<\/p>
The high level of vaccine protection has allowed us to live with COVID-19 without stringent restrictions. However, If the data suggests the National Health Service is likely to come under unsustainable pressure, the Government has prepared a Plan B.<\/p>
