sacked

From his statement.
On Sunday 12 April, 15 days after I had first displayed symptoms, I decided to return to work. My wife was very worried, particularly given my eyesight seemed to have been affected by the disease. She didn't want to risk a nearly 300-mile drive with our child, given how ill I had been.

There was still a good train service running between London and Durham, with social distancing measures in place on trains and at stations. Seems a lot more safe and sensible than driving a long distance when you're not really feeling up to it. And after all, he had an excellent case for saying that the travel was essential.
