<p>As of Friday, 29 May our management information shows that there were 162 prisoners
currently showing symptoms of Covid-19. Of those, 85 (52%) had been tested. Our records
show that a further 3450 prisoners had previously displayed symptoms of Covid-19 where
cases are now closed. Of those, 1447 (or 42%) had been tested.</p><p> </p><p>Tests
are conducted on symptomatic prisoners on site, as directed and advised by PHE. The
testing capacity and availability is dependent on local commissioning services, therefore
the numbers of those tested varies by establishment. This means that the total number
of cases at any establishment can include clinically diagnosed but untested cases,
as well as those who have a confirmed COVID-19 positive result.</p>
