## Service Description
A way for College administrators to be able to rapidly assign students to pools and households was
required for the [Asymptomatic COVID-19 screening programme](https://www.cam.ac.uk/coronavirus/stay-safe-cambridge-uni/asymptomatic-covid-19-screening-programme).

`Households` worksheet. Additionally, a `Contacts` worksheet was added for notification of failures
when processing the Sheet. College administrators were given permission to access these Google

The webapp also has an endpoint exposing the current state of pools and households in the database.
This is pulled from periodically and imported in to the Azure DB system managed by the
