Test and trace app has just pinged....

[Purplethrow]

and I have to isolate for 13 days . However, I have been to the supermarket once in the last 7days and didn’t take my phone, I have been for 2 walks and didn’t take my phone. I haven’t been in anyone’s company for 15 minutes or more.
Does anyone know the time frame between someone that I may have been in contact with testing positive and the app pinging?
I have wracked my brains and can only think it was a British Gas engineer who came round before Christmas.
Could it be my next door neighbour, who I haven’t seen but could have been ‘near’ albeit divided by an adjoining wall ?

The only time you still have to isolate for 14 days of you've had the test and it's positive. The app is crappy, it keeps loading in the background on my phone so I turned location off, I firmly believe that's how the police are getting details of potential breaches to fine people for daring to sit on a bench.

Its 10 days now not 14 And its 10 days for a positive case as well as a contact of a positive case

My friend's app countdown started at 5 days (contact of a positive case allegedly)-there must be some sort of weird calculation going on.

That means the contact with the positive case was 5 days beforehand. Maybe they delayed getting tested and then had a delay getting results.

The T&T enquiry chap said the app is for guidance only, definitely not enforceable.

If you go on the app , tap About this app and then tap Manage my data , you can see when the (alleged) contact was.

Technically she could have been spreading it about for a few days before the notification if she does get symptoms and test positive in the next 5 days? None of this sounds ideal TBH.

Yes, it's all.a bit crap

Delete this app. Not developed enough to be trusted. Total rubbish.
