Do t and t ring everyday?

[confusedmummy123]

Ds positive test Thursday. Was under the impression t and t ring everyday to check you're isolating. My colleague admitted it was a bit of a pain!! Could do without the hassle as they are bound to ring when I'm looking after both kids, (Ds autistic and dd just plain demanding) whilst trying to homeschool plus another million and one things! I have not had one single call though. Is this because there are that many cases thwy physically cannot contact everyone? I'm stoke area if that makes any difference.

Never heard that before.

I initially got a text asking me who I'd been in contact with. When I didn't reply to a few I got a couple of calls, then nothing after that.

I doubt they have the time/staff etc to call everyone every day to check they're isolating

I tested positive on Saturday. They phoned me at 8.30 am on Sunday. Gave me my date isolation ends and told me they wouldn't be calling back.

No they don’t call every day - but if they do call and you don’t answer on multiple occasions then they may come to your house - that happened to a friend

They called me 4 times during my 10 day isolation.

One phone call per child a few hours after test results. Which meant I got called at 8am Saturday and Sunday last weekend. Thats it.

They phoned me on day 4, day 7 and day 10.
Usually around 8am.

I've had three calls so far (am on day 8), and they said they wouldn't call again until day 10.

Ds2 tested positive Saturday and Ds3 on Sunday. So far they’ve called me 8 times Sunday, 7 times yesterday and twice today. I can’t believe how bad their system is. They have told me ds2 is a close contact to ds3 and needs to test even though he was positive first! Their systems just don’t match details up.

I’m near Stoke too btw. When ds1 had it last month they didn’t call at all until day 6.

I had 3 calls for me and 1 for my 9 year old

No they do not call every day. Nothing like.

Scotland. When teen DD had it last month they didn't get in touch at all. No contact other than the text /email to say PCR was positive and to isolate from onset of symptoms, or date of test, whichever was earlier.

It seems really sporadic then from everyone's replies. We are day 7 today and no call from when ds had positive results Wednesday morning.

I tested positive Wednesday and I have had one phonecall from Test and trace which was on Sunday morning.

Called every day, same robotic can't deviate from the script. Not their fault but pita when you just want to rattle through. We were all positive so had to go through it four times A day.

Bloody hell @idontlikealdi that sounds a nightmare.

@ParkheadParadise

Bloody hell *@idontlikealdi* that sounds a nightmare.

It was, good job we didn't have anything else to do!

Yes, the no deviating from the script was particularly irritating!

@idontlikealdi why didn't you just ignore the calls?

I was called everyday but after the first few days I ignored the calls because I was very unwell. When I was discharged from hospital (10 night stay) I came home to 2 identical letters (no stamp) to say they had come round. I felt harassed to be honest

I am on Day 3 and, so far, no-one has rung me at all. I actually wish they would as the app and the health team at the council are giving me two different dates for the end of my isolation and I would like it clarified.

I had one text with a link to complete a form for contacts and that’s it.

Today is my first day out of self isolation, I tested positive a week last Sunday, didn’t have a single phonecall or text from track & trace.

My husband tested positive at the same time and had a text telling him to self isolate and that was it

Both my DC have had covid. I got the call the day after the positive PCR for each. Just the one call the whole time. However my MIL was getting a call everyday. In the end FIL answered and said she’s sick in bed which she was. It was a real bother for them.

I had one call from them for DS (the morning that his PCR result came through) followed by 3 calls for me (about 4 days apart each).The call for DS was quite long and asked lots of questions about where he'd been, who else lived in the house etc. I filled all that stuff in online regarding myself so the 3 calls that I got were just quick, how are you, do you need help with anything calls. I've also had 2 or 3 "thanks for isolating. remember you must isolate until x date" texts from them.
