Anyone coming into close contact with infected people in England will be told to isolate.

As is currently the case, anyone who develops symptoms of coronavirus - a persistent cough, fever or a sudden loss of taste or sense of smell - will have to isolate for seven days and the rest of their household for 14 days.If the test comes back positive, the NHS test and trace team will get in touch to discuss who you have come into close contact with.

Any of those contacts deemed at risk of catching the virus will be instructed by the NHS to go into isolation for 14 days.This information could lead toCommunities Secretary Robert Jenrick told the BBC:"That enables us then to take action in that place which will be restrictive on the individuals who live and work there.

"But, as a result of that, we'll be able to provide greater freedom to millions of other people across the country, enabling us to continue to ease the lockdown, ease the return to school, to work and to the daily activities that we all want to get back to."

This is really to little, too late, i appreciate it takes time to devop the app. Numbers are going down, adhere to lockdown, be sensible and we will get through it. Patience.

Love to see how this works....Supermarket worker under 2m from most people...not by choice just because some customers don't think...or think a mask gives them security...

Utter shite

They still are not isolating people from abroad...and they expect us to trust them with all our private information? This is a joke right? We are spied on enough as it is fgs. Let it go. We are not China!

bbc5live 'All Results Positive' so 3 more months in Lockdown so the U.K. becomes 'StayHome Sitdown' how long before EVERYTHING de-funded NHSuk BBC included? as the StayAtHome Generation evolves. NoJobsNoMoneyNoTaxes 'Corona Derangement Syndrome' ForeverInLockdown LockdownUK

I know the 'scientists' have advised house arrest and social distancing, but can you report what the scientific reasoning is for these rules.

We're not going to tell you which Thursday but rest assured it will start on Thursday. Leave your phone at home or take it but leave it off, if you have privacy concerns. UKpolitics COVID19UK

Knowing this dopy lot it probably won’t work anyway! More fool anyone who hands over their data whereabouts to this dishonest government! TrackAndTrace TrackingApp

Когда мы узнаем правду?

Several months late and over 30,000 dead. Better late than never 😂

Not on my phone it won’t

Everyone needs to watch this video about contact tracing. Ii can guarantee this will usher in a world far worse than the risk of getting covid-19. I don't think anyone will download the app after watching this video!

Not doing enough testing, don't have enough 'tracers', no functioning or legal app in place. Sounds like par for the course from the Conservatives.

Where's the app?... Is there one?... Any info on it?... Thought not...

2 months too late!!!!!

How will this work if your kid comes into contact with another kid at school whose parents have it .. when young kids don’t have phones?

Not on my phone. I intended to before the Cummings disaster, but I trust them even less now.

Not sure what happened to the App..

night So no information on number of tests carried out for days ... mmm

I will no longer retweet anything the BBC reports you have been disgraceful

My instincts tell me not to download it.

bbc5live What are the opt outs for Johnson and his friends ?

It can jog on

night Despite a certain Advisor's antics let's hope the rest of us continue to support the UKs battle with this wicked virus and do the right thing! Not what suits them or depends on their private judgement!

Good.

night What? : tomorrow?

night With Dido Harding in charge of the data !!! That's safe then ?

bbc5live What a race, covid is over the finish line followed by social distance,third place is lockdown and way back in fourth place is aeroplane isolation. Not even out of the gate is contact tracing, I’m not sure what happened, everyone forgot about it.

Really does johnson know anything about it ?

All u who don't want to download it; why, intrusion, I bet u use FB and Google, fools

No mention of an app , manual tracing ie you will be asked for your contacts !

Really? A bit like testing 100k people a day started on the 12th of Never? Anyway, the people traced and told to isolate are just going to feel entitled to do a Cummmings now, aren’t they?

For those with company phones (me) ... We're owned by a French multi-national ... they only allow approved apps onto our phones. Doubt they'll approve a UK Govt app due to fears of 'back door' spyware getting into their intranet.

No, not after the development of the last few days

Under no circumstances, save it being made law, will I download this app given this government’s history of misusing personal data for its own ends and for some very shady and disreputable other peoples’ ends too. 😐

Well you can stick that where the sun don't shine, which is where you will find Dominic Cummings!

bbc5live But only if Dominic Cummings stays in post...

Simultaneously announcing contingency plans for locking down council estates. Hmmm...

Not on our house.

Tomorrow then

How is it going to work? Does anyone know?

bbc5live Not for me thanks

Will it work on a 10 yr old Motorola ?

Too late

That’s around 3 months too late.

bbc5live Not downloading until Cummings is sacked

Good luck with that!

And the Isle of Wight trial? There’s been literally no mention of this for about a week....

Gee - what could go wrong?

Trace Dominic Cummings and see if he caused anyone to die of COVID-19.

Your privacy will end on Thursday

Ahahah, that too early :d

Britons: RUN!

Too late for all this

sackmaitlis

Nah I’m good

Fuck that shit!

only 9 weeks late.
