00:00This is an unprecedented outbreak.
00:03It is also a rapidly developing situation.
00:06With these considerations in mind, Mr Speaker, it is absolutely paramount that we stick to
00:11the facts, which is what I intend to do.
00:14This is the current situation.
00:16As of 9.30 this morning, UKHSA has confirmed four cases of Group B meningococcal disease,
00:24with another 11 cases under investigation.
00:26The two deaths are associated with this cluster.
00:31The majority of cases link back to the Club Chemistry nightclub over the dates of 5th, 6th
00:39and 7th March and their associated networks.
00:43Club Chemistry is currently closed voluntarily.
00:47Going forward, Mr Speaker, these figures will be updated publicly by UKHSA each day at 9.30am.
