answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2020 answer text <p>For reasons of operational security, we cannot comment on the number of COVID-19 cases that have occurred on Royal Navy (RN) or Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) vessels. As of 31 May, there have been 45 confirmed cases of Royal Navy Service personnel with COVID-19.

The nature of these measures depends on the vessel and activity that is being undertaken, and may require personnel to be quarantined ashore in a cabin or onboard the vessel if they display symptoms or have been in contact with others who have displayed symptoms.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 22/06/2020 16:36:02 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
