We're going away in less than a couple of weeks and desperately want to go, so we're trying to to be really careful. I haven't been pinged but I can see that I've had contact with someone who's tested positive. I know it's not through work. Everyone is still being really careful on pavements here, ie someone steps well into road. Only places I've been since Tuesday last week are for non stop bike rides and Tescos (deliberately gone at quiet times, not hung around and not gone into aisle unless I can quickly get past someone). The only area I've been in for a couple of mins was self serve and deliberately chose not to go close to someone else (I guess someone will have ended up using one next to me though).

@Lottie4

What do you mean by

"I haven't been pinged but I can see that I've had contact with someone who's tested positive."

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant I've got a match on the key count under exposures on my phone.

Where do you find that?

I think you would have been pinged if it was at all a risk?

I check my exposures and I assume that's someone you've literally just walked past. So don't worry about them.

It's quite interesting to look at. I don't get many notifications, until a month ago I rarely had any even when our area was really high. But I went to Wimbledon (travelled by train) and had several a day for a few days after that.

I believe this are just people you’ve been in range with. Mine has steadily risen from 1 last week to 11 last night and I would say that’s because I went to London at the weekend and walked past a LOT of people. I feel comfortable I didn’t have the 15 mins close range contact with anyone though.
