COVID-19

Members were reassured that the City Corporation was continuing to work with PHE and follow Government guidance concerning the Corona Virus (COVID-19). Business Contingency Plans were being updated for all departments across the Corporation and the Business Influenza Plan would be finalised by the end of the day.

It was confirmed that the Director of Community & Children’s Services was involved in the corporate response and had developed a plan including the homeless and vulnerable people. This would be circulated to Members when finalised.

With regards to formal meetings, the Corporation’s current position is business as normal; however, Members would be advised if that situation changes at any point. In the event that formal meeting practices were to be suspended, decisions could be taken under urgency procedures in accordance with the City Corporation’s Standing Orders.
