Question:
To ask the Minister of Health when he will publish the scientific evidence on which part of Lisburn was included and part excluded from the restrictions applying from 16 September 2020.

Answer:

In the period since this question was tabled the Executive has taken a series of carefully considered steps to bring us to the current position and as part of that there are currently no localised restrictions in place.

The Executive's response to the COVID-19 pandemic is led by the latest medical and scientific advice and we use a broad range of data, information and statistical indicators to inform decisions. Scientific evidence used by the Executive for decision making purposes is publically available at: https://www.health-ni.gov.uk/covid-19-scientific-evidence

Data on the main settings associated with clusters and outbreaks of COVID-19 in Northern Ireland is available on the Public Health Agency's website at: Outbreak Summary and more information can be found on the Department of Health website on the Covid Dashboard
