The total number of cases has doubled since the last update on Friday, when 27 prisoners were confirmed to have tested positive.

The MoJ also ensured that prisons are prepared to take immediate action wherever cases or suspected cases are identified, including the isolation of individuals where necessary.

Staff numbers in prisons are already stretched, with some 3,500 employees - around a tenth of the workforce - currently in self-isolation due to COVID-19. Meanwhile, Scotland's justice secretary Humza Yousaf said on Friday that he was"actively considering" options for the early release of prisoners.
