Direct the UKHSA to monitor COVID infections that occur in particular settings

Closed 1,638 signatures

What the petition asks

Ensure that the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) monitors, and reports on, the numbers of COVID infections that occur in healthcare settings through its routine surveillance programmes, and advises on how to prevent and control infection in establishments such as hospitals, care homes and schools.
We think the government needs to ensure the relevant policy on the management of healthcare associated infections (HCAI) is extended to include the recording of data on covid infections spread within hospitals.
