Can the minister confirm if the bio security centre is completed and operational as we have yet to see any reports from it ?

Well We are in the process of completing this..

+445 which are now included in the figures on 24 May as Pillar 2 positives leading to death note included. That figure appears today for the first time.

I see, do these new deaths count in the 7 day rolling average?

You simply cannot believe anything this government now says. We can't even be sure we're being told the accurate daily death figures. If I was shielding I would be taking no notice of this shower.

Why do you mean now ? I haven’t trusted them since the day they took office

Mystery why journalists aren't ridiculing the test figures and the recent change of the 200k target from 'tests' -which count nasal swabs and saliva tests on the same person as 2 tests plus counts non-diagnostic tests for research purposes- to 'capacity for 'tests' which overnight miraculously increased by 44000 because of the inclusion of 40,000 antibody tests available to NHS staff and care workers (a test which doesn't actually test for covid-19 but just tests to see if you've had it).

They appear to have been added back to their actual date, so any graph will take these new deaths into account when calculating the 7 day average.
