UIN HL4007, tabled on 5 May 2020

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people in the UK they estimate will contract COVID-19 in 2020.

Answered on

1 June 2020

The number of people who contract COVID-19 in 2020 will depend on behavioural factors and future policy. The Government’s five tests will seek to ensure that COVID-19 cases are kept low, whilst enabling the economy to re-open. It is important that people keep alert to control the virus, and in doing so, we will save lives.
