Plans in the UK to ease the lockdown are being overshadowed by claims that an aide to Prime Minister Boris Johnson broke the lockdown rules.
In March, Dominic Cummings drove 260 miles from London so his parents could help with childcare – Cummings’ wife and later Cummings himself both had to self-isolate with virus symptoms.
He also later drove around 30 miles from his temporary home in County Durham, apparently after his 14-day self-isolation.
Boris Johnson has defended his top aide, insisting he acted “responsibly, legally and with integrity”.
The prime minister is this week expected to set out details of plans to lift restrictions. At a news conference on Sunday, he already confirmed the phased reopening of England’s primary schools will begin on 1 June.
