Yeah, the Gesundheitsämter setup seemed to work well. We keep hearing noises regarding local lockdowns in the UK and this is perhaps a situation where local subdivisions of PHE would come in handy here too, devolving public health to NHS trust level as an example..
That said, Germany essentially has 16 'countries' (Länder) under their federal system while we already have 4. Would a more granular system work...
