Prisoners: Coronavirus
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will amend the COVID-19: National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services, published on 2 June 2020, to specify that it will be an objective to test prisoners for covid-19 infection in all cases during reception, transfer, and release processes as soon as is practicable.
- Answer
-
Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service has no plans to amend the Covid-19: National Framework for Prison Regimes and Services published on 2 June.
We are, however, examining what additional testing capacity we might bring in to further support our understanding of the importation of infection into prisons, including the asymptomatic testing of new receptions.
