Coronavirus (COVID-19)


Many constituents have recently written to me regarding their concerns about Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Let me assure you that the Government, the Department for Health and Social Care and the National Health Service are working around the clock to deal with the Coronavirus outbreak in the UK.

The Government and devolved administrations, including the health and social care system, have planned extensively over the years for an event like this. The UK is therefore well prepared to respond in a way that offers substantial protection to the public.

The Government is continuing to work closely with the World Health Organisation and international partners and remains prepared for all eventualities. The Government is following the advice of the Chief Medical Officer and Public Health England.

In Parliament I am regularly discussing with ministers and other MPs on the situation in the UK and will continue to do so until the virus is eliminated.

Please keep yourself informed of important Government advice as the situation is changing all the time and the link below gives the latest information.


It provides details on what you need to know about the virus, how best to protect yourself and details about travel advice.
