Meanwhile Salford City Council's COVID-19 Outbreak Management Plan has initially identified "nine critical high-risk places, settings, locations and communities" with "specific postcodes", although it doesn't state where these actually are within the city.
There exists a Salford Borough Risk Profile and Map, although this isn't being shared with the community. The Plan does however give an overview of the kind of settings and communities at risk which include 'large factories, food processing, warehouses, construction sites, shopping centres and high rise buildings with lifts and shared foyers...hospitals and health care settings...homeless provision...the orthodox Jewish community ...places of worship...the refugee and asylum seeker community...the gypsy and traveller community...Forest Bank Prison and other secure units...Salford University and Salford College...the AJ Bell Stadium and Salford City FC (when games resume)'...
The response to any local outbreaks will rely on testing and tracing, following national guidelines. To read the full COVID-19 Outbreak Management Plan – click here
