UK PM Boris Johnson’s most senior adviser, Dominic Cummings, has said he acted reasonably and legally after driving across England during lockdown, while he had coronavirus symptoms. But what exactly did he do and when? Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F
Dominic Cummings drove 260 miles (418km) from London to Durham, and took a 60-mile round trip from Durham to a nearby town on his wife’s birthday – a trip he says he made to test whether his eyesight was good enough to drive.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said of the controversy involving his chief adviser Dominic Cummings: “Yes of course I do regret the confusion and the anger and the pain that people feel.”
He also announced that all shops across England will be able to open next month if they can meet the coronavirus guidelines to protect shoppers and workers.
The Prime Minister said outdoor markets and car showrooms would be able to open from June 1 if they are safe to do so.
