Local outbreak plan and tracker tool

Local outbreak plan

Alongside the national NHS Test and Trace service, there is a requirement from government for local test and trace systems to be established.

The Essex and Southend contact tracing service is being delivered in partnership with:

• Southend Borough Council
• Public Health England (PHE) regional team
• Anglian Community Enterprise (ACE)
• Provide
• PHE local health protection team
• Environmental Health Officers in local councils

This draft outlines the plan for local outbreaks of COVID-19 in the Essex County Council area and how this works with regional and national systems for COVID-19 control.

We will produce the plan in an accessible format at a later date.
