Asked by: Rosie Duffield (Labour - Canterbury)

Question to the Scotland Office:

What discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on the outbreak of covid-19 at the international Nike conference in Edinburgh in February 2020.

Answered by Douglas Ross

It was agreed by the 4 Chief Medical Officers ahead of the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 that each administration would announce their own cases and take their own decisions about what is appropriate to release, so this was a matter for the Scottish Government.
