PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Travel: Quarantine (8 June 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what additional support his Department has put in place for young children and families that are quarantining in Government provided hotels.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

The hotels selected for managed quarantine are able to meet the vast majority of requirements. Hotels will prioritise allocating larger or connecting rooms to families. Whilst there is no prescriptive list of support for young children and families, there are opportunities to exercise outside as arranged with the hotel security guards and staff will be available. Medical and mental health support is provided where needed, together with access to social workers for advice and support. Food is available throughout the day with a choice of menus accommodating dietary requirements, delivered to the hotel rooms. All rooms have televisions and free WiFi.
