Boris Johnson has been accused of violating the spirit of restrictive measures against the coronavirus and of violating the rules he declares.
According to the London newspaper Evening Standard, the British Prime Minister went for a bike ride on Sunday at the Stratford Olympic Park in east London, about 11 kilometers away from Downing Street where he lives.
This distance violates for some the rule that exercise outside the home should be done in the area where one lives.
Metropolitan Police Chief Cresinda Dick made it clear on BBC radio this morning that the prime minister had not broken any law, but did not want to comment further.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock defended Mr Johnson on Monday night, saying that if anyone was within seven miles of his home on his bicycle, he was entitled to be there if he did not come into contact with more than one of them. a persons outside his household.
Earlier, Mr Hancock had defended Darbyshire police, who had fined two girlfriends who had driven eight kilometers to walk in a picturesque habitat keeping their distance.
The fine was revoked Monday night, with police apologizing to the two women.
Downing Street has not clarified whether the Prime Minister rode his bicycle to the Olympic Park or whether he arrived there by car.
These incidents have intensified the confusion about how much citizens are allowed to leave their homes, as there has been no clear instruction.
