Is isolating legally enforceable?

In Scotland specifically? Googling tells me that if it is via the app then no but if contacted directly by T&T then it is? That might just be for England though.

Also how are you supposed to know who the person is who has contracted the virus as it doesn't say..?

Thanks all. I deleted the app ages ago.

I was all for compliance but I think it's getting ridiculous now. What's the point in double jabbing if life doesn't get back to normal. However Wembley, Silverstone, Wimbledon etc can all go ahead?

Yet I've got to isolate for 10 days because someone, somewhere has been diagnosed with Covid, and has 'apparently' come into contact with me. I just don't trust this system or it's reliability. Getting it doesn't automatically mean sudden death.

@Rhinothunder

Only if you're checking in everywhere . Just use a pseudo ID / don't scan in
That isn't what the check in is used for.

T&T will call and message you if you are named as close contacts.
When I caught covid T&T called me and I was asked for a list of contacts and anywhere I'd been in the 48 hours prior to symptoms, and the positive test, I was also asked to complete this information on a form.

I'd already told the relevant people anyway, so it wasn't a surprise to them.

Test and Trace also message people and it will say if 'read'
