Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 October 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19 Update and Hospitality Curfew.


Covid-19 Update and Hospitality Curfew

Yes, and the updated evidence that we are publishing today shows that the just under a quarter figure is correct. It is the highest single identified area. The figures on outbreaks, which were also mentioned by the hon. Member for St Albans (Daisy Cooper), are measuring something completely different and are not a measure of how many cases are caught there. The 25% figure is, of course, for those who catch it outside the household. The single biggest place we can catch coronavirus is from somebody else inside your own household, but that is, in a sense, inevitable and very, very difficult to prevent.
