	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2020 answer text <p>From 29 April, figures for deaths include all cases where there is a positive confirmed test for COVID-19. The figures include deaths with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in all settings, not just those in hospital, and this provides us with a single figure on an equivalent basis for the whole of the United Kingdom.</p><p>These UK figures are compiled from validated data provided by each of the four nations of the UK. Figures from Health Protection Scotland, Public Health Wales and the Public Health Agency (Northern Ireland) have always included tested cases outside hospital. Figures for England from 29 April onwards are provided by Public Health England and draw together several different data sources, including data from NHS England and NHS Improvement, to produce this broader measure.</p><p>This approach allows us to compile deaths data on a daily basis using up-to-date figures across all settings.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 12/05/2020 10:10:55 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 18670 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2020 answer text <p>On 8 June new rules for international travellers were introduced in order to reduce the risk of new cases from abroad.</p><p>Before considering whether antibody testing could ever be used to lessen or exempt specific individuals from self-isolation measures, we first need to improve our understanding of how the immune system responds to COVID-19.</p><p>COVID-19 is a new disease and the science around ‘immunity’ to the virus remains uncertain. There is no strong evidence yet to suggest that those who have been proven to have had the virus are immune. We do not know, for example, how long an antibody response to the virus lasts nor whether having antibodies means one does not transmit the virus to others.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 23/06/2020 10:09:39 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 29534 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
