Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the data on the country of origin of inbound passengers testing positive for covid-19 up to 10 days after arrival in the UK by variant of concern in each week of the last three months.

Data is published fortnightly cycle on the number of positive COVID-19 cases for England arrivals, by country of origin. In order to ensure data confidentiality and to avoid individuals being identifiable, we have suppressed any counts less than three. Due to small sample sizes we are therefore unable to publish data from each country of origin, by specific variants of concern.
