Pinged but not left the house

[Lochnessgiraffe]

I've just been pinged. I last left the house with my phone last Thursday. Apparently I've been in contact with someone who has covid. Can I ignore this? I'm not planning on going anywhere but the dogs need walking

You can ignore the app. It is Test & Trace (who will ring you) that is legally binding.

There’s somewhere in it you can find out when the contact was supposed to be.

Why have the app if you're going to ignore it?
Have you checked when it says your contact date was?

It goes on Bluetooth so maybe a neighbour has tested positive and it's picked up your mobile through the wall

When does it say the contact was?

If it's later than Thursday it could be a neighbour through the walls or something like that

Not that it matters, a ping is recommend not mandatory.
