Local outbreak control plans

This week’s rise in COVID-19 cases in Leicester shows the need to be vigilant, and to be able to respond to a localised surge.

To ensure we are prepared for this, we have developed two local outbreak management plans in partnership with Public Health Dorset, local councils and other public sector partners.

One plan covers the Dorset Council area and the other the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council area. They each set out what we will do to identify and control any potential outbreaks across our county, and protect local communities.
