UK contact tracers are 'not fully occupied', says coronavirus testing chief

Many of the 18,000 contact tracers recruited to find new cases of coronavirus are “not fully occupied”, the government’s testing chief has admitted, although he insisted people were reacting positively to being asked to isolate for 14 days.

paullewismoney That’s a good thing, you understand that right?

paullewismoney I wish my employers would allow a system to go live on the verbal 'it is working well' but I have no stats to show you. Even 1 case should be logged and stored thus being available in the stats. Is there a live system or still in test?

Did you not see the news? The virus in Italy no longer exists, so if UK follows Italy, then no wonder resource not occupied. Perhaps leaders in the UK Govt know, which will explain the accelerated pathway to unlocking. But again, telling the truth will be a good thing, as if!

It’s the same with testing, nhs staff and care home staff didn’t pitch up for all the whinging!

Why are contact tracers working from home using their own laptops ?

Why are they lying about the death figures tonight? Why has Cummings not been sacked as the true impact of his undermining of the Covid response becomes clear?

I love the suggestion today that all infected people have been tracked and their contacts traced. Good as far as it goes but the problem isn’t the ones we know about.

They can’t train them as the system keeps crashing
