Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients were admitted from the community into NHS hospitals specifically for the treatment of covid-19 symptoms, as opposed to being discovered to be infected after admission, from 1 March 2020 to 1 August 2020; and of those so admitted, how many were (i) admitted from a care home and (ii) readmitted after prior discharge from hospital with a covid-19 diagnosis.

This data is not held centrally.
