Written Question
Coronavirus: Disease Control
Tuesday 5th May 2020

Asked by: Steven Bonnar (Scottish National Party - Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What steps he is taking to help prevent a second wave of covid-19 infections after the easing of lockdown measures.

Answered by Nadine Dorries

We have set out five tests that will need to be satisfied before any lockdown measures are eased which are as follows:

  • ensuring the National Health Service has capacity to provide critical care right across the United Kingdom;
  • evidence to show a sustained and consistent fall in daily death rates from coronavirus;
  • the rate of infection decreased to manageable levels across the board;
  • the UK is ready for operational challenges including testing and personal protective equipment are in hand with supply able to meet future demand, and;
  • confidence that measures do not risk a second peak.

To offset the risk for a second peak, a certain degree of social distancing measures will need to remain. We have rapidly and very significantly expanded our testing capability and are developing a test and trace programme to support the next phase of our Covid-19 response.
