Leeds has been announced as one of 11 local authorities to develop bespoke coronavirus plans to tackle outbreaks in workplaces, care homes, and schools.
Some £300m will be given to local authorities by Government to come up with the plans, which will focus on identifying and containing any outbreaks.
As part of the arrangement the councils will be expected to ensure testing reaches high-risk places, and local authority leaders and directors of public health will be in charge of the planning.
