Report by Associate Director of Public Health

The Board gave consideration to a report that focused on changes in the epidemiology of Covid-19 in Argyll and Bute, which had led to changes of priorities in the testing programme and the uptake of testing by different population groups.  The report reflected on lessons learnt during the first wave of Covid-19 in Argyll and Bute.

Decision

The Integration Joint Board noted the update on Covid-19 in Argyll and Bute in terms of –

1.    The changing nature of the distribution of infections in the Argyll and Bute community.

2.    The role Covid-19 testing is playing in building such a picture.

3.    How the support to the Argyll and Bute Community due to the Covid-19 pandemic is adapting to the changed epidemiological and social situation.
