Coronavirus: Quarantine and Screening

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact on young adults of covid-19 testing and isolation requirements during stage 4 of the covid-19 roadmap from 19 July 2021; and what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact on young adults of back-to-back self-isolation periods.

Answer

No assessment has been made regarding the specific impacts in question. However, assessments of the broader impact of the self-isolation requirements have been made for all age groups, including young adults. We recognise that young adults’ educational, social, and by extension health outcomes are highly impacted by self-isolation.
