In late May 2020 the Government instructed all
local authorities to have local outbreak control plans in place
before the end of June. The plan sets out how we will work to
prevent cases and outbreaks of COVID-19 in Darlington and how we
will respond if and when they do. The plan is to be produced,
approved and published to a tight timescale.
Financial/staffing/health & safety (incl virus transmission
risks)/service delivery impacts/other risks and impacts
considered:
No negative service impacts identified. The plan describes actions
to prevent and manage outbreaks.
Test and Trace Service Grant allocated to the Council for this
work.
