Cambridgeshire’s new local contact tracing service is successfully tracing more than 80 per cent of the cases passed to it.

Since 19 November, when the countywide tracing service launched in Cambridgeshire, 280 cases have been passed to it, with 83 per cent of those cases completed.

Cambridgeshire County Council, Peterborough City Council, and the five district and city councils in Cambridgeshire are all working to close the gaps in the national Test and Trace programme operated by SERCO, contacting people who have tested positive for COVID and giving them help, advice and support to self-isolate.
