Since the lockdown restrictions have been lifted I'd say pub wise Chaplin's the Ship Isis and the Ivy House have been the best organised.

That map says Sunderland, but looks like it points to Middlesbrough. Have they made a mistake on the map, or have they made a mistake on the list and it's meant to be Stockton?

Yes the Zoe App tends to run ahead of the government data, for the last week it showed a very large increase in infections n Sunderland, which are showing up in the official figures. The good news is that the App is showing that the increase appears to have stopped, so come Monday the government numbers for Sunderland should start to level off and start to fall again.

Apparently a customer tested positive for covid who had been in Streetbar on Sunday evening.
Track and Trace got in touch with a friend of mine who was in the same pub that evening.
