Local Covid-19 data
Local Outbreak Control data
Hampshire’s Local Outbreak Control Plan outlines the County Council’s key data objectives in terms of understanding and controlling the spread of Covid-19 (section 9), these include:
- Review daily data on testing and tracing.
- Identify incidents/trends, undertaking mapping and surveillance of Covid-19
- Identify epidemiological patterns in Hampshire to: refine our understanding of high-risk places, locations and communities, support decision-making and monitor the effectiveness and impact of any actions.
- Provide intelligence to support quality and performance reporting to the Local Outbreak Engagement Board.
- Ensure that those who require access to the intelligence for different purposes can do so, regardless of organisational affiliation, whilst ensuring confidentiality requirements are met.
There are a number of data sources, and public health analysis teams have worked collectively across the HIOW LRF to deliver intelligence products efficiently through sharing resources and avoiding duplication of effort. Hampshire County Council’s Chief Executive, Director of Public Health and Public Health Analysts also have access to data on numbers of confirmed cases at local level from PHE. This is from the restricted national Covid-19 dashboard (also known as the JBC Playbook) which contains data on testing from both NHS settings (known as Pillar 1) and the wider testing for all members of the public / residents (known as Pillar 2).
The County Council will take a proactive approach to safely and appropriately sharing data with relevant stakeholders and partners, and will always have due regard to the relevant regulations. Members of the Local Outbreak Engagement Board will receive weekly reports to support them in their roles. A monthly report will be produced for the Board’s formal meetings and will be published with the meeting papers in the usual way.

The Local Government Association’s LG Inform produced the below Covid-19 tracker using Public Health England data. The LG Inform reports show both the current data for authorities, as well as data over time. The information has also been combined with population data, to create a rate per 100,000 people and demonstrate relative rates of infection between authorities.
