Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the trend in the levels of the covid-19 infection rate in York.
As seen elsewhere in England, cases rates in York have seen a recent rise. The UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) Yorkshire and the Humber Health Protection Team continues to monitor COVID-19 levels throughout the region.
The UKHSA’s regional teams also have regular contact with Directors of Public Health and local authority public health teams to discuss trends in local data and offer guidance to address case rates in identified settings.
