NHS Tracker App

Were you told to self isolate or was this just an alert that you'd been near to someone who is on the app too (the bluetooth connection.) We've had several alerts but no formal requests.

Told to self isolate for 11 days (which I thought was a strange number).

14 days minus the 3 between the event and the alert?

Probably so TW

Anyway, that’s real bad luck.

All the best.

Thanks, TW. 

Same here John, sorry you've got to isolate. 

Thankfully I've got plenty to do at home. We haven't been out much since March although we are recently back from two weeks in Dorset and Devon so I've got a few hundred photos to sort out. We also have a fairly big garden to look after, (by modern standards), and I've got  a couple of DIY projects on the go so I don't think I'll be bored. The next 10 days will go reasonably quickly I hope. Just hope that whoever we were near didn't actually pass anything on.

Hope you manage to get a test, and that it proves negative, John.

The App has instructed me NOT to get a test unless I / we have symptoms. At present neither I nor Jane have any symptoms at all.

What I still can't get my head around is that someone can be in a restaurant on a Friday evening then think they have symptoms, book a test, get that done, get the result and then for the App to notify me on Monday to self-isolate all in the space of 72 hours (and over a weekend). My conclusions at this moment in time is that either the person with Covid already knew they were positive when they went to the restaurant (frightening) or it is a glitch in the system. 

First time out since downloading the App and this happens!

I have posed this scenario to the Covid App Support section but as yet no reply of any sort from them.
