Oxford University's coronavirus vaccine has started human trials in Japan and will be tested on 250 patients as part of a deal to supply it to the country. 
 

Following an announcement on Tuesday that 30,000 American volunteers were taking part in the final stages of the trial, there are now more than 50,000 people testing out the jab - known as AZD1222 - around the world.

Volunteers have already been injected with the experimental drug in the UK, US, Brazil and South Africa and are being monitored by scientists. Further tests are planned in Russia.

Oxford's Professor Sarah Gilbert, the brains behind the jab, has said preliminary data from trials in some countries could be expected in the coming weeks.
