Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps will be taken to protect public health during stage-five of the covid-19 warning system.
As the Prime Minister said in his statement on Sunday 10 May, the Government is currently establishing a new COVID-19 Alert System run by a new Joint Biosecurity Centre, which will be established swiftly over the coming days. The details of the system are still being finalised and we will have further details on this in due course.
