b) Cabinet noted the continued applicability of the Civil Emergency Delegation.
Minutes:
Councillor Hemsley, as the relevant Cabinet Member, elaborated on the report and noted the current situation of being in a national lockdown.
The Interim Chief Executive explained that the report was written prior to Rutland’s uplift in the number of cases of Covid-19, which was due to an outbreak of cases at Stocken prison. The number of cases reported had dropped which indicated that the prison had swiftly got the infection under control. Vaccinations of over 70 and the clinically extremely vulnerable had been successful and the next tranche of vaccinations would soon be underway.
RESOLVED:
a) That the present position in Rutland in respect of COVID 19 be noted
b) That the continued applicability of the Civil Emergency Delegation be noted.
