Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the list of covid-19 symptoms that make individuals eligible for a PCR test will be updated to take into account symptoms of the delta variant of that virus.
Experts keep the symptoms under review as our understanding of the virus develops. We are assessing the data from the COVID Symptom Study, in addition to other surveillance studies and will update our guidance if necessary.
