answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/06/2020 answer text <p>Those on the clinically extremely vulnerable list include those who have specific medical conditions that, based on what we know about the virus so far, place someone at greatest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Disease severity, history or treatment levels will also affect who is in this group.</p><p>Some conditions are not suitable for blanket inclusion in the clinically extremely vulnerable and this is the case for post-polio syndrome where there is a spectrum of severity. Some patients with post-polio syndrome experience mild symptoms, and it would not be proportionate for them to be included in the clinically extremely vulnerable and advised to shield.</p><p>General practitioners and hospital clinicians can exercise their clinical judgement and continue to add people to, or remove them from, the list depending on the circumstances of each individual case. People will only be removed from the list following a discussion with their clinician.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 03/06/2020 18:39:37 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 25103 answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2020 answer text <p>The ‘people tested’ measure was initially used to count people who had not been previously received a test, deliberately excluding subsequent instances an individual would have been tested if they had been tested once or more previously. It no longer usefully reflects the volume of tests carried out as, for example, a healthcare worker receiving their second, third or fourth test since the start of the pandemic would not be counted as they have been tested once before. Therefore, the people tested figure will be published on a weekly basis within the NHS Test and Trace statistics rather than daily and is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nhs-test-and-trace-statistics-england-weekly-reports" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/nhs-test-and-trace-statistics-england-weekly-reports</a></p><p>The Department has also published transparency data for the number of people tested for coronavirus (England): 30 January to 27 May 2020 which is weekly and covers the period before Test and Trace.
