G7 leaders unveil global anti-pandemic action plan

Leaders of the G- seven countries, meeting in England, are expected to sign a declaration on Saturday aimed at preventing further global pandemics. They will be joined by international experts drawn from industry and science who will advise how to respond to future threats and avoid a repeat of the devastation caused by the coronavirus.
