<p>The Government has undertaken detailed work on COVID-19 with four strands: contain,
delay, research and mitigate. Should there be a need to implement restrictions on
movement then the Government, in consultation with the Usual Channels, will update
the House on the next steps in relation to parliamentary business if there is a need
to do so. While COVID-19 has the potential to spread extensively there is no reason
to change parliamentary business at this stage. The Government is monitoring the situation
closely and providing regular updates to parliament and the general public.</p>
