Government unveils Covid-19 test-and-trace strategy for England

The public will be instructed to stay at home for 14 days, and keep children out of school, even if they have previously had coronavirus or self-isolated, under a new test-and-trace strategy for England to be rolled out on Thursday.

Does PHE use “instruct” or is it a paraphrase? & is it really an order or a request? If it’s a request, I think media should stick with that. We now know that a whole chunk of stuff called “rules” never actually was legally a rule. You should be very clear abt this from now on

Pie in the sky after cumnings has basically put an end to the guidlines and now many are flagrantly flaunting social distancing to go to the beach and open spaces. Give it a couple of weeks and this bollocks will be dropped...then again, probably not.

All very useful

So did I hear this correctly , you have to self-islolate at home if you are told you have come into contact with someone who has tested positive , but the people you share a house with DON’T also have to self-isolate ?

How about we boycott the app until Cummings resigns.

only 4 month too late.

Volunteered to do this in the late 70’s during an outbreak of a virulent virus in Balham. It was a nightmare as people got either very angry or very tearful when asked not to work for a fortnight but survive on basic sickness benefits! Most refused....

Tracing is our specialty

I think strategy is a bit of a strong word!

Strategy before ready to test track & trace.... still struggling to resolve initial issues with testing.

Dom has ruined any chance of success it may have had

For some reason people aren't taken this seriously, seems that Fear factor has Gone!!!

Will the new testandtrace system trace us if we go to Durham?
