The Government’s Events Research Programme has begun to use a digital health data platform to monitor how the pilot social events are affecting the Covid-19 pandemic.
It has adopted the Cheshire and Merseyside Combined Intelligence for Population Health Action (CIPHA) system for research on the round of events in Liverpool including last week’s Circus club nights and Sefton Park music festival.
CIPHA, which is based on Graphnet Health’s CareCentric platform for linking health and social care data, is being used to match Covid test results with ticket purchases to inform research and ensure any transmission of the virus is properly monitored.
Festival-goers had to produce negative Covid tests to enter the event in Sefton Park

Thousands of revellers without face coverings danced shoulder-to-shoulder to live music for the first time in more than a year at a pilot music festival.
Around 5,000 people packed into Sefton Park in Liverpool on Sunday for the outdoor gig that included performances from Blossoms, The Lathums and Liverpool singer-songwriter Zuzu.
Everyone had to produce negative coronavirus tests to enter the event but did not have to wear face coverings or follow social distancing rules.
It is hoped that such test events will pave the way for festivals and venues across the country to reopen for mass gatherings.
