This report sets out the decision to agree the
Reading COVID-19 Outbreak Control Plan (‘the
Plan’).
The report summarises how Reading Borough Council has engaged with
other agencies to develop the Plan, which meets national
requirements and addresses the particular issues and risks which
COVID-19 poses for Reading. The Plan sets out how partners will
work together to keep residents safe from COVID-19 pending the
development of more effective treatments and/or a vaccine.
Plans to respond to COVID-19 in England have been set nationally to
date. However, as national restrictions are lifted, local action is
likely to prove necessary to respond to localised outbreaks and to
prevent further spread.
It is the decision of the Chief Executive, in consultation with the
Lead Councillor, to approve the summary Reading COVID-19 Outbreak
Control Plan as attached at Appendix A.
