We are following all Public Health England guidance and have robust contingency plans in place.</p><p> </p><p>All immigration removal centres have dedicated health facilities run by doctors and nurses which are managed by the NHS or appropriate providers. The Home Office, its suppliers and NHS England healthcare providers in immigration removal centres are following PHE guidelines for the management of COVID-19. Universal testing is not currently recommended under these guidelines for those in detention or those being released. Testing of individuals in immigration detention will be dependent on individual circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>To reduce the risk of COVID-19 in IRCs, all centres are following a reverse cohorting process which commenced on 20 April 2020. This requires new arrivals to be isolated from the main population for a period of 14 days to verify that each individual is asymptomatic. If a detainee shows symptoms during this time, they are be moved to protective isolation for seven days.</p><p> </p><p>As of 3 June 2020, there are no cases of COVID-19 in immigration removal centres.</p><p>There have been two confirmed cases of COVID-19 in detainees, a third individual was identified but after his release from detention had been agreed.</p><p> </p><p>Local management information indicates that for the period 9 March to 31 May 2020, fifty-seven detainees have been placed in protective isolation for displaying COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2020 answer text <p>We are working hard to contain the spread of COVID-19 in the justice system as part of the national plan to protect the NHS and save lives. In our prisons and in the community, we are implementing a range of measures to reduce the spread of the transmission of the virus and the numbers of lives sadly lost. This has included the implementation of restricted prison regimes, the early release of low-risk offenders, temporary expansion of the prison estate and the reduction in the number of face-to-face probation meetings.</p><p> </p><p>As of 5pm on Friday, 5 June, we are aware of 21 men and 2 women in prison and 13 men and 2 women under probation supervision who have died from natural causes that may have been exacerbated by contracting COVID-19.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 16/06/2020 16:36:39 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

question text	Her Majesty's Government how many prisoners are currently sharing a cell with one or more others, broken down by prison.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Gloucester
uin	HL4968
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2020 answer text <p>On arrival into custody, all prisoners’ suitability to share a cell is risk assessed. These assessments are based on numerous factors including index offence, health concerns and security information (such as beliefs and prejudices).</p><p> </p><p>Since March, we have introduced strong measures to avoid thousands of prisoners and staff becoming infected with COVID-19. This includes restrictions on movement between jails, the early release of low-risk offenders and the temporary expansion of the prison estate. These measures have helped to contain the spread of the virus and limit deaths. This action has helped to reduce the prison population, allowing establishments to implement ‘compartmentalisation’.</p><p> </p><p>We are installing over 1,000 temporary cells to increase space and help reduce the spread of the virus. These units are being placed where there are the highest number of shared cells, a lack of in-cell sanitation and where there are high numbers of vulnerable prisoners. We have also opened an Annex at HMP/YOI Rochester to hold up to 70 men.</p><p> </p><p>As at 29 May 2020, 35% of the prison population are sharing cells holding two or more people and this is broken down by establishment in the table below.
