answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2020 answer text <p>Throughout the outbreak, all of our decisions have been informed by the best scientific evidence. Temperature screening was considered and discounted as a border measure on the basis that it is not, at present, effective or reliable in accurately identifying or rapidly screening for COVID-19. For example, temperature screening would not detect those who are asymptomatic, nor those who are symptomatic but do not have a fever.</p><p>International arrivals are required to supply their contact and accommodation information, and self-isolate in their accommodation for 14 days, unless they are exempt or travelling from a country on the travel corridors list. Lorry drivers do not need to self-isolate on entry into the United Kingdom as freight drivers are exempt from quarantine in order to keep vital supplies of goods moving.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 23/09/2020 08:45:41 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2020 answer text <p>We recognise how difficult it has been for people to be cut off from their friends and family throughout the past few months. Support bubbles are to assist the loneliest and most isolated in society. They were introduced to provide extra support to some of those most impacted by the difficult effects of the social restrictions, while ensuring we continue to keep the rate of transmission low. The policy has been targeted at single-adult households for that reason.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 21/09/2020 14:57:57 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 47056 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
