Dear Eugene,

COVID-19 Infection Survey Results Publication Time

Earlier in the year we granted ONS an exemption from the Code of Practice for Statistics’ standard publication time of 9.30am to permit a later release time of noon each Friday for statistics from the COVID-19 infection survey.

I am happy to confirm that the same exemption applies to the statistics for Northern Ireland from this survey that you publish. I am copying this letter to Ruth Fulton, head of Statistical Support branch at NISRA.

Yours sincerely

 

Ed Humpherson
Director General for Regulation
