Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the levels of regular covid-19 testing among the public.

Details and breakdowns of daily testing are published at the following link: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/testing.

There continues to be a large number of tests taken each day by members of the public and those in high-risk roles. There are still high levels of COVID-19, and it is important that people continue to test, both when they have symptoms and when they are doing activities that carry risk, such as close contact indoors with people at high risk of serious illness.
