BBC presenter Andrew Marr told viewers this morning that he believes he caught a “nasty” bout of Covid at the G7 Summit in Cornwall.  Marr revealed he caught the virus despite being doubly vaccinated and believed he caught it while reporting on the meeting of world leaders in Cornwall earlier this month.

Ironically, while in Cornwall for the summit, Marr grilled the Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on a Public Health England report which found a dozen Brits died from the Delta variant despite having had both their Covid vaccines.
