Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government who is responsible for setting the COVID-19 alert level.
This question was answered on 6th July 2020
The Alert Level is currently determined and set by the Chief Medical Officers of the United Kingdom. The Chief Medical Officers consider advice from the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC), which is a part of the Department, in setting the level. In time the JBC is expected to take on responsibility for independently setting the Alert Level.
