Voiceover and Siri talking at the same time

Has anyone reported the bug to Apple where voiceover and Siri talk at the same time? I hope they fix it in iOS 13.3. Is there a work around in the meantime?

You should make sure that before you start talking, voiceover and/or siri is quiet. Sometimes if you hold down the siri button and you start talking over the voice, it won't work right.

I had this problem in iOS 13.1 and continues. When pressing power button and she makes the sound normaly I can star talking and them she respond. The issue is that vo sstarts saying "How may I help you" or you hear numbers.
omes and goes. It is not consistent but the bug is there.
