Manchester City Council, GB follows missed calls on COVID-19 tests with volunteer messenger visits

Manchester City Council, GB Missed COVID-19 Test Messenger

In Progress

Manchester partnered with local nonprofit 4CT to reach residents who tested positive for COVID-19 but did not return initial calls. Messengers delivered letters with follow-up instructions and public health contacts. Volunteers returned to speak directly with residents if they were not immediately available. This service recommends local food, medical, and social services to isolated residents.
