Lost working days due to ineffective contact tracing have cost large London businesses over £750k each in the last year, according to a new study.
The research, commissioned by Contact Harald, shows that 81 per cent of large companies in London have lost working days due to ineffective tracing tools.
The study found that businesses in the capital were disproportionately affected, having lost an average of 262 days to possible Covid cases.
