A Downing Street spokesman today said there had been no change in the rules.

'The advice was that ministers should wear face coverings and they were made available within the cars that ministers use,' he said, adding that he had not seen the images of the Health Secretary.

Boris Johnson arrived back in Downing Street this morning after spending the weekend at Chequers, getting out of the back of his luxury car service long island wearing a black face mask.

Mr Johnson introduced the rule on September 23 after it was confirmed chauffeur-driven cars would be exempt from new coronavirus rules forcing taxi passengers to wear face masks.

Passengers in licensed vehicles require coverings under new restrictions in England aimed at preventing a resurgence of Covid-19.

But No 10 said the measure would not include passengers in chauffeur-driven cars, though the driver's employer would have to ensure they could work safely.

'Government cars are not classified as private hire vehicles, but the PM and ministers will be wearing face coverings in line with the guidance,' a spokesman said at the time.

Like the Prime Minister, Mr Hancock contracted coronavirus early in the pandemic, before recovering.
