Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what discussions his Department has had with relevant stakeholders on updating the Government's guidance on covid-19 symptoms in the context of the findings of the study by the Zoe symptom tracker app on symptoms associated with the omicron covid-19 variant.

Evidence on symptomatology of COVID-19 is continually reviewed and monitored. We have liaised with public health clinicians and the United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers and other stakeholders regarding the symptoms of COVID-19 as well as considering internal data and academic studies. We will update our guidance if necessary as our understanding of the virus and new variants develops.
