Report of Interim Director of Public Health detailing the Southampton Test and Trace service.

Minutes:

The Board received and noted the report of the Interim Director of Public Health detailing the Southampton Test and Trace which went live as a pilot in December 2020 targeting those areas in the City with the highest prevalence of Covid-19.  The service had been very successful and given this the service was scaled up to ensure coverage for the whole City which went live on 13th January 2021.  Members of staff from the Test and Trace Service were in attendance and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting.  It was particularly noted that there had been successful contact with over 80% of cases in accordance with the SAGE guidance.
