Matt Hancock resignation background
Matt Hancock resigned on Saturday after it was revealed he had breached the government's own coronavirus restrictions while having an affair with a close colleague.
Hancock, Britain's front man against the epidemic, particularly in the campaign for vaccination, announced his resignation in a letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, reiterating his apologies.
"We owe it to those who have sacrificed so much against this epidemic when we have humiliated them by defying restrictions," he wrote.
Pressure had been mounting in the UK for an investigation into the health minister's affair since Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier declared the matter 'closed'. The Prime Minister's statement was seen as an attempt to protect his secretary.
year-old Matt Hancock's affair with a 42 woman named Gina Collade Angelo is hot and the British newspaper 'The Sun' published photos of the Minister of Health embracing her in what the newspaper described as a 'steamy clinch'.
These pictures were taken by the security camera on May 6. However, sources told the newspaper that the couple has been seen hugging on many other occasions during the Corona epidemic.
Hancock said on Friday that he was "apologetic" for violating social distancing guidelines, but clarified in a statement that he did not intend to resign.
The health minister appealed for privacy for his family and said he was focused on 'getting the country out of the epidemic'.
The photo is believed to have been taken inside his department in Whitehall at a time when workplace social distancing laws of two meters were in force.
