Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC) has introduced an ‘escalation framework’, using a traffic light system – from green to yellow, amber and red – to keep everyone in the city informed and up to date about the current rate of confirmed cases of Covid-19.
The city’s current status is yellow, which means rates of infection are increasing.Starting this week, the city’s current status will be updated weekly on a new Current Alert Level and Guidance web page, which clearly explains the traffic light system so members of the public can understand the implications of the escalation level and how they can help prevent the spread of infection.The weekly alert status is recommended by BHCC’s Public Health team based on local data on Covid-19 case.
