answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government has put robust measures in place to protect staff and offenders from COVID-19 and introduce ‘compartmentalisation’, to isolate those prisoners with symptoms, shield the vulnerable and quarantine new arrivals.</p><p> </p><p>The Department of Health and Social Care is solely responsible for testing for COVID-19 both in the community and in secure settings. As such, we do not hold data on the total number of prisoners and staff who have been tested.</p><p> </p><p>Overall, prisons are seeing a decline in the numbers of new cases. The data in the table below shows the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases broken down by establishment as of Friday 12 June 2020. These figures reflect the total number of recorded positive cases of COVID-19 since the first confirmed cases in mid-March, not the number of live cases. It includes individuals that have recovered.</p><p> </p><p>The numbers reported will be affected by a number of variables, including the availability of testing locally which can result in differences between sites and regions and as self-reported (for staff) through HMPPS management lines for central collation. As figures are as reported by prisons they may be subject to revision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Staff
