Writing about her husband’s condition, Wakefield said: “Dom couldn’t get out of bed. Day in, day out for 10 days he lay doggo with a high fever and spasms.” Cummings himself wrote: “At the end of March and for the first two weeks of April I was ill, so we were both shut in together.”

A witness says they have seen Cummings at the grounds of his parents’ home near Durham with a young child, believed to be his son, at 5.45pm. At about 7.30pm Boris Johnson is admitted to St Thomas’ hospital after his condition worsens. Wakefield wrote: “Just as Dom was beginning to feel better ... Boris was heading in the other direction, into hospital.” Later that evening Scotland’s chief medical officer, Catherine Calderwood, resigned for breaking the lockdown rules by twice visiting her second home.
