	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2022 answer text <p>If an individual has recently recovered from COVID-19 but is no longer infectious, they should use a lateral flow device test due to its lower sensitivity and therefore a reduced likelihood of returning a positive result from a historic infection.</p><p>While the United Kingdom does not recognise natural immunity for international travel, this is kept under review. The presence of antibodies does not guarantee that an individual is not capable of infection and transmitting the virus, therefore individuals who have been previously infected may still put others at risk.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 12/01/2022 10:05:33 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup previous answer version 42111 answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2022 answer text <p>For businesses within the live events sector, the Live Events Reinsurance Scheme supports events that the general public are able to purchase tickets to - such as music festivals, sporting and business events - that are at risk of being halted or delayed due to an inability to obtain COVID-19 cancellation insurance. Over £800 million in cover will be available to purchase alongside standard commercial events insurance for an additional premium. Cover is being bought by events across the UK. This intervention supports the UK’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis by giving events across the country the confidence they need to plan for the future.</p><p> </p><p>This is a world-leading insurance scheme, backed by a number of prominent insurers in the Lloyd’s market, including Arch, Beazley, Dale, Hiscox and Munich Re, with few countries offering this kind of cover. It builds on our existing offering of support to the industry, including the £500 million Film and TV Production Restart scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The government announced last month that it is making available an additional £30m through the nearly £2 billion Culture Recovery Fund (CRF) to increase the Emergency Resource Support currently available for cultural organisations to apply for. So far more than £1.5 billion has been allocated to around 5,000 individual organisations and sites through the CRF including theatres, orchestras, dance and music venues, supporting live events and performance.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 10/01/2022 16:29:26 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
