North of England Correspondent Inzamam Rashid is one of four Sky News staff to have been taken off air after breaking covid restrictions by attending Kay Burley’s 60th birthday party, according to a report.
Burley, who has been a presenter for Sky News since its inception 32 years ago, was absent from the channel yesterday after issuing an apology for ‘inadvertently’ breaching Tier Two restrictions during the party in London and is set to be away until early 2021.
Political Editor Beth Rigby, Rashid and presenter Sam Washington have also been taken off air pending an internal inquiry into whether celebrations were ‘Covid compliant’, according to the Daily Mail.
Rashid appeared to have further breached Covid rules by travelling from his home in Manchester, in Tier Three, to attend the restaurant in Tier Two.
