"Words matter and the flippancy and carelessness of this comment has caused deep hurt and further muddied the waters of the government's dangerously mixed messaging."
Professor Devi Sridhar, chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh, said the remarks would be"painful to read for those who were severely ill" and those who lost loved ones to COVID-19."And wanting to avoid getting COVID isn't 'cowering' - it's being sensible & looking out for others."
There was also criticism from opposition politicians, with shadow justice secretary David Lammy saying:"129,000 Brits have died from COVID under your government's watch.Liberal Democrats health spokeswoman Munira Wilson said:" careless words have insulted every man, woman and child who has followed the rules and stayed at home to protect others.
