Public Health

Proceeding contribution from Sajid Javid (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 December 2021. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Public Health.

What I can tell my right hon. Friend is that there are approximately 6,000 people in English hospitals who have tested positive for covid, and of those—I have shared information like this with the House before, because I was determined to obtain it when I first became Health Secretary—approximately 80% are there because of covid symptoms, while about a fifth are there for other reasons, but were tested for covid and happened to have it. I hope that that is helpful to my right hon. Friend.
