Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made, using recent contact tracing data, of the number of cases of covid-19 that have been transmitted (a) on buses, (b) on trains and (c) in taxis.

NHS Test and Trace data does not specify where a specific transmission may have taken place, therefore estimates of the number of cases of COVID-19 transmitted by setting is not available. Local Health Protection Teams and local authorities receive common exposure alerts, providing information on cases that have been linked to specific settings, so that this information can be used to investigate and manage clusters.
