He resigns as one of the main epidemiological advisers to the British government because he welcomed his lover during the quarantine.

Government adviser Neil Ferguson was forced to resign after it was revealed that he had violated the curfew to meet his lover, a married woman, the Telegraph writes.

Ferguson was one of the epidemiologists at Imperial College London who participated in a report that convinced Prime Minister Boris Johnson that a curfew should be introduced in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic, otherwise 500,000 Britons could die because of the virus, according to computer models.

Ferguson allowed women to visit him at home, while the media man explained the need for social distance. The woman lives in another house with her husband and children.

The 38-year-old woman, who is a member of a left-wing campaign team, traveled to London at least twice from her home south of the capital to be with the nicknamed 51-year-old Professor Lockdown. This happened when the 51-year-old man had just completed his 2-week quarantine after he was positive for his coronavirus test. (Telegraph)
