Key Boris Johnson political adviser Dominic Cummings, speaking Monday from the garden at Downing Street, defended his controversial departure from London earlier in the coronavirus crisis. He said he had not cleared the temporary relocation of his family from London to a cottage on his parents' property in Durham with the prime minister, who himself was later hospitalized with a severe case of the coronavirus-borne disease COVID-19.
As his wife's condition improved in Durham, he said, he became ill, as did his 4-year-old son, who ultimately was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where he spent the night but tested negative for COVID-19. Cummings said neither he nor his wife was ever tested. He said an uncle's death from the cororonavirus-borne disease did not affect his decisions or actions, nor did he and his family have contact with the now-deceased family member.
