The Department for Health & Social Care have now agreed for the Plod to access data on parties who have had a positive notification and should be self isolating on a case by case basis. Just another reason that people will be pressing delete https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...ld-to-self-isolate-by-test-and-trace-12106988
Get used to it pal, we had 4 people in our house at one time with it and would get 12 a day. Hope you make a full recovery
People who have downloaded it will have done so because they want to help cases go down. If they decide to ignore what they have been told to do then it would be easier for them not to download it in the first place.
Pretty sure if the app tells you to self isolate it’s only advisory. It’s only if you get contacted by T&T that it’s a legal house arrest My issue is they don’t have to tell you why you have to isolate who was infected so you can even judge if you had contact with them but they can tell the police to watch your house It’s something that doesn’t sit well with me. And if they are phoning you multiple times a day What happens if you are in the shower on a work zoom call. In the garden etc
When I am actually ill with something then I'll take the necessary precautions. Be it Covid, 'Flu or Haemorrhoids. Until that time, I'll get on with my life the best I can. I honestly have more important things to worry about than catching the 'Rona.
what are the purpose of these calls? just to ask if you are at home? or is it to a landline number to "prove" you are at home
its a fine line, i haven't dowloaded the app and avoid places that require me to leave details to reduce the chances of me having to isloate. Whats really double standard about it all is i work in a building with 100s of people but if anyone at work tests postive then the rest of us just keep going.
See Farnhams post. And theres no resources to fight knife crime, drug crime, around here smuggling but they'll be able to find a few dibble to make sure you are sat on your sofa watching the TV. It smacks of a money generating scheme as much as it does keeping people safe. Plus the entire saga around Ferrier who has managed to wriggle off the hook... Hardly fills me with confidence.
To do my job I have to visit retail and hospitality establishments and have been instructed by my employer to download and use the app in order to comply with the various restrictions and requirements for visiting such sites. But the issue I have is I have to wear gloves and face mask again it's mandatory and I don't interact with anybody except the duty manager but yet if someone who was in the pub / Shop at the same time as me later tests positive I have to self isolate despite the fact I won't have interacted with them and I wear PPE whilst on site.
to be fair it’s unlikely you would have to. I’ve had several alerts saying that although I’ve been in a place where someone tested positive for CV19 I did not get close enough to be in danger of infection and don’t need to self isolate ( my paraphrase)
Don't listen to blurts on here who like to spread false information about the virus. You won't be asked to self isolate just because one person has tested positive where you have been. You need to have been close enough to them for long enough for that to happen. https://faq.covid19.nhs.uk/article/KA-01213/en-us
The first one was to confirm you’ve been tested positive and was about 45 minutes long as they go through everyone and and everywhere you have been, you’re expected to know contact details, address and postcode for each instance(we had to google for them some shop postcodes). Then each of us got one to advise us we had been in contact with someone(I got one from my wife and each daughter etc) and need to isolate. Then they ring to check everything is OK, do you need any questions answering/support Then we had towards end too. Some of it is definitely to remind you to isolate etc. One thing we found was some of the advise we were given was contradictive as an example one person would say isolation was fo 10 days from start of symptoms, another said from test taken, another said 14 days, when we questioned the answer each time was it changed today.
I agree. After all, as long as you're ok nobody else matters right. You might be told to self isolate, but unless you feel badly you'll just carry on your normal life. It doesn't matter that you may be asymptomatic and you could pass it on to vulnerable people at work, or at the supermarket, or the pub or in town or wherever. They don't matter do they, just as long as you feel ok?
