Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What recent estimate he has made of the number of armed forces personnel who have tested positive for covid-19.
Up to 30 June 2020 a total of 366 Service personnel had tested positive for COVID-19.
In line with Government measures, these personnel were directed to self-isolate for the mandatory 14 days once they were confirmed as infected.
This has not affected Defence’s ability to sustain its critical outputs.
