	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2020 answer text <p>On 12 March 2020 the Prime Minister announced that the COVID-19 response was moving from the contain to delay phase. This phase has been initiated as there is now community transmission of the virus in the United Kingdom, i.e. transmission not directly related to travel; this has made interventions in ports of less relative importance. With the shift to the delay phase and commensurate policy changes the Public Health England port health approach has changed to a ‘warn and inform focus’.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 28/04/2020 15:33:00 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 17098 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

The process is complex, and we are not yet content that the data we have available is robust enough to provide an accurate picture.</p><p>The Department is working with the data owners to resolve the issues that currently prevent it from publishing the number of people tested. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and have committed to publishing this information going forward.</p><p>In terms of testing people upon admission to hospital, an operating framework has been published on the NHS England website which advises on management of urgent and planned services within hospital.
