The so-called pingdemic threatens to undermine efforts to revive the UK economy, which is still recovering from its deepest recession in 300 years. Most pandemic restrictions were lifted in England and Scotland on Monday. Johnson is determined to reopen the economy, despite surging infection rates, and has said it is vital to follow the app s frustrating orders to isolate in order to keep some control over the pandemic. Speaking to Times Radio on Tuesday morning, Scully, the small business minister, said people should make informed decisions if they re told to isolate by the app. They are legally required to stay home only if they have been contacted directly by NHS Test and Trace staff or if they re claiming isolation support payments, he said.
