Two high profile Sky News journalists have been taken off air after a party in London last Saturday breached Covid 19 guidelines.
Following an internal review, presenter Kay Burley has agreed to be taken off air for 6 months, and Political Editor Beth Rigby is being sanctioned for 3 months.
Correspondent Inzamam Rashid will also be off air for 3 months.
All those involved regret the incident and have apologised.

Sky News says a small number of staff attended a social event in London last Saturday evening during which Covid-19 guidelines were breached, and everyone at Sky News is expected to comply with the rules and the company takes breaches of these very seriously indeed.
