Oxfordshire County Council has been allocated funding from the Department for Health and Social Care Containment Outbreak Management Fund to support measures to reduce COVID-19 outbreaks and the spread of infection. The County Council has agreed that some of this funding should be granted to grassroots organisations across Oxfordshire to enable them to deliver activities that will help to reduce COVID-19 outbreaks and the spread of infection. For example, supporting residents to self-isolate.
