Does the Health app add steps from a Workout to the daily step count

I was just wondering if the Apple Health app included steps taken in a deliberate walking or running Workout to the daily Steps tally and, if so, is there a way to stop it doing so? I need to keep them separate for a challenge that I am doing so I’m not double counting.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 8

Anything recorded on the phone goes straight to the health app;

You can set data source priority in the Health app, whichever source

is listed first is what it will use.

Apple Health works out the date and time stamp on the steps so as not to

duplicate ones that are marked as the same time.
