Asked about the trip by reporters outside his house in London, Cummings said “I behaved reasonably and legally.”
“It’s a question of doing the right thing. It’s not about what you guys think,” said Cummings, who also berated the journalists for failing to keep 2 meters apart in line with social distancing rules.
Cummings is one of a slew of senior British government figures to contract COVID-19, including the prime minister, who spent three nights in intensive care at a London hospital. Several senior government ministers defended Cummings’s actions. Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove tweeted: “Caring for your wife and child is not a crime.” Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who was sick for a week with the coronavirus, said “it was entirely right for Dom Cummings to find childcare for his toddler when both he and his wife were getting ill.”
