Local outbreak plan
Cumbria has published its draft COVID-19 Outbreak Control Plan and is inviting feedback from the public and organisations in the county.
As the number of COVID-19 infections in the country reduces, it is expected that we will move into a new phase of response, one that relies more on responding to local outbreaks rather than on a national approach. On 22 May 2020, the Government announced increased responsibility for upper tier local authorities to lead on this work, including a requirement to publish a Local Outbreak Control Plan by the end of June 2020. It is the responsibility of upper-tier local authorities to prepare these plans, though many agencies are involved in implementing them. The Local Outbreak Control Plan sets out how Cumbria will respond to outbreaks of COVID-19. It describes how the local Test and Trace system works and how this connects to the national system; gives further details of the approach being taken to support schools and care homes; and outlines how the community will be engaged in this work.
The plan can be found on the County Council website by clicking here.
People have until 31 July to provide their feedback. In the interim the plan is live.
