Coronavirus has had a huge impact on people across Middlesbrough. Our way of life has been turned upside down since the country went into lockdown.
Now, as some restrictions are relaxed, Middlesbrough Council has been given more responsibility for responding to local outbreaks of COVID-19.
Our Local Outbreak Control Plan aims to reduce the number of outbreaks in Middlesbrough, keep the numbers of new and secondary COVID-19 cases to a minimum, and make sure people are supported if they are affected by an outbreak.
By working together with our communities, partners, and businesses we’re aiming to save lives, save jobs, and rebuild a flourishing Middlesbrough.
This website also has information on the impact of COVID-19 in Middlesbrough and answers to frequently asked questions. You can also ask us a question if you need to.
