Despite the clarity of the instructions, which are: "staying at home", "avoiding visiting others", and "if you went out of your house for whatever purpose, wear the mask", many prominent leaders participating centrally in combating coronavirus in their country have graduated, To rebel against such simple measures, over the past few weeks.
Last Tuesday, British epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, a chief adviser to the British government, who represents the main gear in its response to the coronavirus, resigned after the Telegraph reported that he had violated the closure protocol when a woman visited him at his home, which the newspaper claimed was his lover.
In early April, the Scottish Sun newspaper published pictures of Scottish Medical Director Catherine Calderwood at her second family home, one hour from their primary residence in Edinburgh. Calderwood later admitted that it was her second trip home since the closure took effect. Last month, New Zealand's Health Minister, David Clarke, described himself as a "fool", after he violated the closure to visit the beach. Before, he had already faced criticism after going on a mountain bike ride.
The Canadian government asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to provide clarifications in mid-April, when he traveled to join his family during their summer stay in Quebec. His wife, Sophie Trudeau, was infected with the virus in March.
The Canadian Conservative leader, Andrew Sher, also defended his decision last month to travel on a small government trip to Ottawa with his wife and five children. Sher said: “We have taken great steps to ensure that we have reduced interactions with other passengers, and have ensured that my wife brought with her tissues".
Israeli Health Minister Yaakov Litzman, who tested positive for the virus, said late last month that he would move to a new position in the Ministry of Construction. Criticism of him over his handling of the epidemic has increased, including accusations of a violation of the ban.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner - the daughter of the American president and his son-in-law - were criticized for leaving Washington for Easter in New Jersey. Nor did US Vice President Mike Pence wear a mask during his visit to the Mayo Clinic, and later admitted that he should have done so. Rather, US President Donald Trump visited a muffler factory without abiding by the safety procedures followed, and did not wear a protective mask from the virus.
