The Labour councillor for Foleshill said: “I have been considering my position for some time, but this has been brought to a head by the circulation of the video that shows me shaking hands with people at an outdoor event on August 23."
And he added: "I did not mean to undermine the work of the council, as I know about the importance of following public health guidance in reducing the spread of Covid-19, and as a public figure I appreciate that I should lead by example."

A senior Coventry councillor has resigned from his position after being filmed breaching social distancing rules.
This week, a video emerged of Labour's Tariq Khan shaking hands, hugging people, receiving a garland and saluting to a camera in Edgwick Park, Foleshill, in August.
The Conservative Party had called for a vote of no confidence and now an internal message from council leader George Duggins confirmed the news that Mr Khan has now resigned.
It read that Mr Khan has requested 24 hours to "frame" his resignation and it confirmed that he had now stepped down from his post.
Mr Khan will remain in the Labour Party and as a councillor for Foleshill.
A vote of no confidence is going to be held about a Coventry city councillor who was filmed breaking social distancing rules at a large gathering at the weekend.
Tariq Khan, the Labour councillor for Foleshill, was filmed shaking hands and hugging people at Edgwick Park and the Conservative group on the council said he must resign from his post as cabinet member for communities and housing.
The council said it was investigating the incident, which it said was a "clear breach of public health guidance".
Mr Khan and the Coventry Labour group haven't commented, but the council leader George Duggins said: “I totally support the council’s statement.”

Vacuum-packed cannabis was found under floorboards at one address belonging to a 44-year-old "rogue landlord" who has been arrested on suspicion of money laundering and drug supply.
West Midlands Police said officers had searched seven properties belonging to the man which are suspected to be linked to organised crime and the exploitation of immigrant workers.
The force also found about £40,000 in cash - some of which had been hidden under a bed at one property - and about 400 cannabis plants.
Four men, aged between 23 and 36, were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences but have since been released under investigation.
