answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2021 answer text <p>We recognise how hard the impact of COVID-19 pandemic has been on people's relationships with their loved ones. The current guidance on social distancing remains that people should stay at least two metres away from others outside their household, to control the spread of the virus and keeping people safe. This guidance is under constant review to reflect the latest advice from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies and the latest evidence we have on the transmission of the virus, including new variants. We are also working across government to ensure that guidance relating to specific sectors on social distancing and non-pharmaceutical interventions takes into account the latest advice and information.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 14/01/2021 13:01:01 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2021 answer text <p>NHS England are unaware of any hospital that has changed its criteria for admission for COVID-19 patients to reduce in-hospital patient numbers. There have, however, been vast improvements in patient monitoring in the community with the development of virtual wards and roll out of pulse oximeters to patients who have been identified by an appropriate clinician as benefiting from additional monitoring. This has allowed the National Health Service as a whole to respond to the pressures that COVID-19 is currently placing on the health system.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 13/01/2021 11:57:35 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
