A THIRD of people who have tested positive for coronavirus have not provided details of people they have been in close contact with and might have infected, data suggests.

Dido Harding, the chair of the scheme, said it would need to do better. A total of 8,117 positive cases were referred to contact tracers but only 5,407 had been willing to give names and phone numbers of people they had been in close contact with in the previous two days.
