MATT Hancock is self-isolating again – days after being spotted in a London park with his family.

The Health Secretary had coronavirus last year – around the same time as the PM fell ill.

But he’s now back in isolation again after being pinged by track and trace.

He has to stay inside until at least Sunday after being in contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.

Even though he’s already had coronavirus, people are still told to isolate again due to the small risk of catching Covid twice.

The Health Sec had Covid back last March, but didn’t get it as bad as the PM did – who had to go into intensive care.

The news comes just days after Mr Hancock was snapped in a London park covered in mud – after playing football with his family.

The Prime Minister begged Brits to stay at home last weekend, and urged everyone to “think twice” before going out.

Mr Johnson said: “It’s safest to assume you have Covid, so please, really think twice before leaving the house this weekend.”

But in a clip published by MailOnline Mr Hancock was seen enjoying his permitted daily outdoor exercise.

‘MUDDY SATURDAY’

The video shows Mr Hancock strolling through Queen’s Park in London wearing jeans and a shirt covered in mud.

A member of the public made Mr Hancock smile after he pointed out the state of his clothes

He said “You’re a bit dirty mate?” to which the Health Secretary replied: “Bit of a muddy Saturday.”

A source close to the Health Secretary said: “As you can see, Matt was outside for exercise.” 

The current lockdown rules allow everyone to leave the house for exercise once a day.
