When do test and trace contact after a positive?

[Tinysnickers]

How long does it take for test and trace to contact you once you have a positive result?
I'm waiting on a postal test which I expect to be positive, just wondering when I should expect to hear from T+T.
Not that I can tell them much of use as I hadn't been anywhere.

Dd tested positive yesterday. Had to fill in an online form which came through after about an hour. Haven’t had any contact since that, yet.

One of my children it was 6 days later, with another they called within an hour of me getting the positive result.

Positive result at 4am. They phoned at 8am.

The next morning after the positive result I filled in the form. They called the next day for my DD, but I couldn’t hear them at all, they tried again the next day.

Positive results at 9am yesterday, phone call from them by 10.30 x

I got my positive result through at 8am yesterday and had the email an hour later, but no phonecalls yet.

We had our results by text between 4 and 7am, and the first phonecall came at 8:45 am!! You can do a lot of your contact reporting online which cuts down on the length of the first phonecall, and although they rang me a further 4 times over the 10 days, each call was very short and just sort of checking if I needed help with anything.

Dc1's positive result came through at 5am & T&T me called at 10:50 this morning.

Positive result at 10.30pm
Text from t+t at 0730 with a link to complete then another at 0906 asking why it hadn’t been done yet, and then a follow up call at 2pm.

Positive result text at 7.40am
Phone call at 9am

About 24 hours later for us.

They’ll send you a link to fill in if you test positive.
You have a limited time to do it if you don’t fill it in they call to get the information (long call)
Adults then get short welfare/isolation calls roughly on 3 separate days (short calls)

I finally got a positive this evening. They didn't send a link, just a code to enter on the app. But I can't enter my first day of symptoms because the stupid calendar wi only let me go as far as 5 days ago and it was 7. I'm damned if I am isolating for an extra 10 days because they fucked up my first two PCRs which should clearly have been positive because my lateral flows were.

Yes a lot of the system is a bit like that.

Have to say I stopped answering their calls and they referred me onto council test and trace who were a million times better, so will be doing that in the future should I return to this position!

Now the stupid app is telling me to isolate 10 days from today. Stuff that.

It depends how busy they are, I work for test and trace and some days we have 600+ positive cases to deal with, so it's a lot. It has been taking a couple of days to contact some people, others are quicker and others don't end up getting contacted at all unfortunately which is a shame. They have taken on more contact tracers now though so hopefully that won't happen anymore!

Very quickly then it seems they just don't give up.
What exactly they keep phoning for once you've gone through the whole contacts questions is beyond me.

Got dd1 positive result at 7 am yesterday, t and t rang at 8.15. Took so long dd2 was late for school then rang me 4 more times for each member of the family. To tell me ds1, ds2 and dd2 and Dp had bee identified as contacts of a positive case. They have rung twice today as dp info was missing something. Honestly we all live in the same house why on earth do we need a phonecall for each person?

DS2 got positive result Tuesday at 5am, they rang at 8am. DS1 got his positive result yesterday at 12pm, they rang at 1pm so very quick. No forms were sent, I guess because they spoke to me to get contacts etc
