The Board was updated by the Director of Public Health on the Borough’s COVID-19 situation.
The Board noted that nearly 60% of the eligible population had now received their first COVID-19 vaccination dose, reducing the incidence of community transmission, hospitalisation and death in the borough. Members queried as to whether there were any systems in place to monitor and manage the effects of long Covid. Members were informed of the BHR Long Covid Clinic, and noted that Covid specific sharing information agreements were being arranged in BHR.
