It is noteworthy that the delta form of Kovid-19 is spreading rapidly in the country. However, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stands by his cabinet colleague and has announced that the matter has now been closed with the minister apologizing. Johnson’s spokesman told reporters at 10 Downing Street: “The Prime Minister has accepted the Health Minister’s apology and this matter should now be considered closed. The embarrassing incident was revealed by The Sun newspaper, which posted pictures of Hancock hugging and kissing 43-year-old Gina Coldanzello. Gina is a former lobbyist and advisor to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC). These pictures are from the CCTV footage purportedly inside the DHSC on May 6. Hancock, 42, is married and the father of three children. The minister said in a statement, “In these circumstances, I accept that I have violated the social distancing guidelines… I am sorry for that.” ”

Boris Johnson should sack him.
