Opinions on Test and Trace
I know someone who has tested positive for covid
I also know their general movements and who they’ve probably been in close contact with in the time frames (2days prior to symptom, 10days after according .gov).
I also know that those people that have been in close contact with the covid positive person have not been contacted by test and trace (and they are worried about it...caring for parents in old age, going to work etc.).
So I’m sat here wondering...
Did the covid positive person not give test and trace full details of who and where they’ve been? Be it being forgetful or lying.
OR
Is test and trace just being shyte at contacting people (serco so, yeah).
Apparently £1000+ fine for lying to test and trace...I‘m wondering if I should give the covid positive person a prod and get them to cough up on their whereabouts (pun intended).

My son tested positive, he had been in contact with us a few days before getting the results. He only went to get tested, more out of interest that a friend of friend tested positive a week earlier. He hadn't been in direct contact.
He and his flatmates all went, they all came back positive. So he, his flatmates went into isolation and we had to, aswell. We subsequently tested negative.
The NHS app didn't warn us that we had been in close contact with someone tested positive.
My son and his mates all had very minor symptoms, almost asymptomatic.

Wasn’t really talking about the app (as that’s a dead duck...like the French’s app) , more so the manual verbal/sms/email tracing teams mentioned here....
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/corona...r-coronavirus/
From what I gather, if they don’t contact you or tell you to isolate then the assumption is there is no need to isolate.

”
Non of the guidance mentions of knowing you’ve been in close contact with a positive carrier but not been informed by test and trace.
Sure common sense says isolate anyway, but the guidance doesn’t mention this.

- if you have had close recent contact with someone who has coronavirus, you must self-isolate if NHS Test and Trace advises you to do so”

We used the common sense approach, given we help some elderly neighbours.

I saw recently that it was only a few weeks ago that the setting on the app were switched from test mode to active. This is why it wasn't updating anyone.
On a side note I know a lady who works in a care home. She has to be tested weekly and on a friday she had got her results even before being tested that week!
