With Boris's so-called Wackamole strategy (?) it's going to be crucial to know precisely where outbreaks are occurring in order to take immediate action to reduce the spread. Looks like PHE need to refine their information to be sue this can happen.

Not at all. Set up a system so you know where outbreaks are occurring eg restaurants, factories, schools, etc.

That way you get a clearer picture. No rocket science as they say.

Just been reading this

“The return to work has clearly caused an increase in outbreaks in workplaces. Figures show clusters started to increase two to three weeks after people began to return to work. In the week ending 7 June there were 24 reported outbreaks, up from five in the previous week. At the time of the outbreaks, the data published by PHE did not make clear that these clusters were occurring in workplaces, as the cases were recorded under “other settings”.

For heaven’s sake! Other settings, really, that’s it? Can they not set up a recording system that shows what we need to know?

(An outbreak is determined by PHE when two or more lab-confirmed cases of Covid-19 have been linked to a particular setting.)
