UK health minister Gillian Keegan apologizes after admitting to continuing meeting after testing positive for Covid

The UK health minister, Gillian Keegan, has apologised after admitting to continuing a visit after receiving a positive Covid test, Qazet.az reports citing The Guardian.

The MP for Chichester, who said she is isolating at home and feels fine, said she “took precautions” after getting her result, but “with their consent” carried on the meeting.

In a series of tweets, she said she should have “immediately ended the meeting and on reflection this was an error of judgment”, adding that she wanted to “be upfront about what happened and to apologise for the mistake I made”.
