Fuck, I've been pinged by NHS COVID app...

[mineofuselessinformation]

I'm a teacher....
Have no clue what it do now!
I know students have been sent home, and a bubble has been closed. Another one is practically closed but not officially.
I haven't brought anything home with me, so no resources to set lessons if I'm not allowed to be in school.
It's for five days, so extends over the end of term. Shit!!!

Either enjoy an extra week of the holidays or delete the app.

Your school must have a policy for this? Presumably to isolate. Can you just explain about the lack of access to resources?

Bet hardly any kids will be in next week based on all the pinging. Try not to panic.

You know what you need to do. You need to isolate. Can someone drop your bits round to you?

I’m surprised anyone still has the app set up to be pinged, that’s madness, it’s completely shit and inaccurate.

I've sent a message to my line manager.
They will get back to me tomorrow.
It's probably nothing, but I'm still worried nevertheless, as I went to see DM, who is CEV,yesterday (Saturday), albeit with a mask on.

Try not to worry. I had similar thing with isolating after visiting a vulnerable person. Got myself in a right state. I went for a test just to put my mind at rest.

I've turned test and trace off.

The app is useless. I have deleted it. Abiding by what it says is guidance only, and not mandatory unless you have been contacted by test and trace.

In the last couple of weeks the stupid app seems to have been pinging everyone willy nilly.

DH got pinged by his and advised to isolate for 2 days, which seems pretty pointless to be honest. He hadn't even been anywhere except for walks in the fields near us, where you usually see no-one at all. We ignored it.

Work says I can't ignore it.....
