A COVID-19 tracing service set up by Hampshire County Council is playing a vital role in protecting our communities . The local service has been established to support the NHS test and trace and help stop the spread of the virus. Local authorities across the UK have been working with NHS Test and Trace to organise Local Tracing Partnerships, which combine national scale and data with local knowledge.
How it works:
When the NHS Test & Trace service is unable to reach people who have tested positive (cases) within its usual timeframes, local call handlers will take over.
The local call handlers will then attempt to make contact with cases to gather details of their close contacts. This will done via text messaging and a call from a local number 01962 826982.
