A day in Downing Street, trials for people with a vaccine, run by Oxford University, will begin on Thursday.
He also discussed the lack of security measures for the NHS, saying the government was talking to thousands of professionals, but it could not fully rescue them.
The Labor Party said there was a "gap" between the government's words and the truth.
To date, the UK has registered 823 other deaths at the Coronavirus Hospital - bringing the total to 17,337.
Official data indicate 20 years of death in England and Wales a week until April 10 - almost twice what one would imagine - due to 6,200 deaths from coronavirus.
These numbers cover all cases, including nursing homes, community deaths, and hospitals.
The death toll has reached 20 - but the summit may be over

NHS workers try to enter coronavirus tests
Hancock told No. 10 that "the best way to defeat the coronavirus" is vaccination.
He says the system is "trial and error", but the UK is "at the forefront of global efforts" and is already investing more than any other country.
He said that two wonderful universities in development at UK universities - Imperial College London and Oxford University - would receive a total of 42.5 million pounds to support their experimental experiences.
"All this work is expected to progress quickly and I have told the scientists who guide them that we will do our best to support it."
He added: "So, the upside of being the first country in the world to develop a vaccine is so huge that I throw everything away."

The government criticized the lack of security measures on the front line
Mr. Hancock also defended the government amid criticism that there were still no personal security measures for frontline workers.
He said the process of moving PPE to the front line "has never happened before", describing it as "the largest height the government has seen."
The government said it was "looking at every leadership" from companies across the UK offering to help, but "in fact, many of those who contacted us could not do much."
He added that more than 8,000 offers of help from British companies and the government are now working with 159 UK manufacturers.
He also said that the UK was in "direct talks" with foreign companies to buy private goods in China.
There is a gap between the government's words and the truth about controlling PPE, Labor leader Kerr Starmer said.
He told the BBC: "It will be difficult for any government to have the right fund in the right place at the right time. But what we see here is the widening of the gap between what the government says or believes is happening and what the front lines tell us."
"This space must be closed as soon as possible because people put their lives in a queue when they go to work - they need the right tools in the right place."
