Coronavirus: Weekly update from Georgia Gould
PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL
In Camden, we are committed to listening to and working with our residents as we work towards reducing and recovering from the impact of this virus.
COVID-19 has exposed how deeply entrenched injustice and inequality impacts our Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
We have been working as a council and community to keep our diverse communities safe and address racism and inequality, but the loss of the last few months calls on us to listen, learn and take comprehensive action.
Changing structural inequality will require all of us to reflect on how we use our power and our voices to fight for a fairer and more equal Camden – to make sure that instead of returning to the past, we build a better future for all our communities.
This week, we published our Local Outbreak Prevention and Control Plan, which supports all of our residents, communities and businesses to understand and feel safe and supported to follow public health advice.
A key part of this plan is NHS Test and Trace, which will help prevent a second wave and save lives.
However, it will only work if the majority of residents with symptoms use it.
We know that many in our communities want more information and reassurance, so our plan seeks to provide answers to your questions.
In collaboration with our communities, we will continue to develop this plan as we learn more and as the situation develops locally and nationally.
Councillor Georgia Gould, Leader of Camden Council
