Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the coronavirus crisis had been a disaster for the United Kingdom and while the government would look at what went wrong it was not the right time to have an inquiry into missteps, APA reports citing Reuters.
“This has been a disaster,” Johnson told Times Radio. “Let’s not mince our words, I mean this has been an absolute nightmare for the country and the country has gone through a profound shock.”
Johnson, who spent time in intensive care battling COVID-19, said the government owed it to all those who have died and suffered to look at exactly “what went wrong and when”.
“I totally understand that and we will. I happen to think that the moment is not right now, ... when everybody is flat out, I don’t think the moment is right now for consecrating a huge amount of official time to all of that.
“But we are learning lessons the whole time.”
Asked about his senior adviser Dominic Cummings, he said: “Dom is outstanding.”
