SIR – I was “pinged” by the NHS Covid-19 app a few days before Christmas. The only place I had visited was a Christmas shop, when I was with my daughter – who also had the app, yet she was not pinged. No one phoned me from Test and Trace at any point.
Lockdown soon followed, so Christmas plans were stopped, but I badly missed church on Christmas Day . and I furtively walked my young dog early each morning, masked and avoiding all human contact. I felt guilty (for being outside), angry and upset, as I certainly hadn’t been in contact with anyone infected.
