	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>ince 18 August we have recorded all confirmed positive incidents of COVID-19 affecting HMCTS buildings centrally. We take swift and robust action for each suspected or positive case. There should be no assumption that a positive case indicates that there has been transmission within a court or tribunal building. 98% of our 341 buildings are open and operational. HMCTS employs around 18,800 staff and there are around 19,400 judicial office holders.</p><p> </p><p>Between the 18 August and 12 November confirmed positive COVID-19 cases reported to HMCTS are as follows:</p><p>Across the courts:</p><p>A) HMCTS staff – 276</p><p>B) Judiciary – 45</p><p>C) Court users – 89</p><p>Across the tribunals:</p><p>A) HMCTS staff – 19</p><p>B) Judiciary – 4</p><p>C) Tribunal users – 1</p><p> </p><p>The following two tables provide a more detailed breakdown of the specific HMCTS locations and numbers.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="4"><p><strong>Table 1: shows
