My DH had an isolation notification last night through the T&T app. It says he has to isolate for 7 days, ending midnight on Saturday.
It said the 'contact' (that wasn't the word it used, but can't remember the exact one) was on Wednesday, and the 'notification date' was Thursday (I assume this is the date the positive test was logged).
However, we were on holiday last week, and on Wednesday we didn't do anything that could possibly constitute 'close contact'. We checked out of our SC accommodation (didn't see a soul - just left), drove to a beach, had a long walk over the cliffs, drove to another beauty spot and had another long walk, bought a coffee from an outdoor kiosk (so spoke to another person, but behind a screen, outdoors, and for a couple of minutes max).
Checked into new accommodation (contactless - used a keypad to get the key, didn't see a person), then went for dinner. We sat at the most distanced tables I've seen - several metres apart. There was no-one on the table closest to us, and the next nearest table was several metres away (the other side of a walkway). Ordering was by app, so the only contact with staff was the few seconds where they delivered drinks and food to the table.
From what I've read, you have to isolate if you've been within 2m for 15 mins or more, but we weren't within 2m for more than a few seconds all day.
Can he contest the isolation request, and if so - how do you go about it?
