SIR – I was amazed to discover that is people don’t “sign out” when using the NHS Covid-19 app (or physical signing in) at any establishment, then all those who attended on the day are pinged, or phoned to require them to isolate for 10 days, when a subsequently positive-tested person is notified to the premises owner.
This is regardless of whether people left before or arrived after the person positively tested. No wonder excessive numbers receive messages to isolate.
