Minutes:
The Board received and noted the report of the Director of Public Health detailing the Southampton Outbreak Control Plan and Programme which became a requirement from May 2020 when all upper tier Local Authorities were asked to ensure they had robust Covid-19 outbreak Control Plans in place to support the national effort to prevent the spread of Covid-19 infection. In line with national guidance the Council published their plan on 30th June 2020 to supplement existing public health, emergency planning and outbreak control plans.
The Board noted that the plan had been developed as a multi-agency plan with key aims of prevention, managing and containing any outbreaks and supporting those that needed help. The plan would be an evolving plan and responsive to changes in national policy, lessons learnt from other areas and from within Southampton’s own systems as information was collated, intelligence analysed, behavioural insights and feedback from partners and residents.
