British leading epidemiologist Neil Ferguson resigned from Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) on Tuesday after media reported he broke social distancing rules. Ferguson, who led the team at Imperial College London that advised the British government to take the national lockdown measures, told the Telegraph that he made an "error of judgement" and therefore stepped back from his involvement in SAGE. According to the Telegraph, Ferguson allowed his friend to visit him at home on at least two occasions during the lockdown, breaking rules which say citizens must only leave home for very limited purposes.
