Muchtoonuchtodo's reply to this, by me:
"Regarding Track and Trace:
NHS: On Wednesday, a person at work was urged to get tested as he looked awful and was coughing. He tested positive. We were all emailed asking who'd been in the staff room (eating lunch so no masks) with him on the Weds.
As a result, 8 people are SI. One is a close colleague who sat more than 2m away from him in the staff room, for half an hour on Weds.
Now, on the Tuesday, the day before he tested, I sat less than 1m away from him, both eating lunch, for at least 15 mins as did a few others. Different, much smaller staff room, an alcove off the work area. There is no way anyone could SD in there! One of the others has subsequently told me she told him he looked ill on that Tuesday as they were working together. I was working in a nearby but different area.
I asked my line manager why only the Wednesday people had to SI, not Tuesday's as he was evidently positive, then, as well.
She said it was because he'd only become symptomatic on Wednesday, but surely The Advice says anyone in contact 48 hours or less before the symptoms appear should SI? Thus Monday and Tuesday?
Sadly, I know why they are re-writing the rules as they go along. If they SI'ed all those people, a mid-size hospital would no longer have a functional Radiology department....
Anyway, we are all now going to be tested across The Trust over these 5 days, so the Contact thing is moot.
As an aside, we haven't been told to turn the App off at work."

'Why aren’t you and your colleagues maintaining social distancing at work?
We have it drummed into us in every CEO update (currently twice weekly) that we must in order to avoid situations exactly like the one you describe.'
I say: how? Where do we eat? On a 13 hour shift? The contact I had, the area is literally 4m x 2m. One end is clinical, sort of, where the staff process images, sort bookings, etc. The other end is 3 'easy chairs' where they take breaks, eat lunch.
