BBC and Sky news websites have it on their front pages Kaz.

You have to scroll down to the 12:05 post on the BBC version as it is on the breaking news page.

It's a bit of an eye opener!

The Daily Telegraph has a big splash on the front page about the NHS app.
Neighbours are being pinged through walls by the app. Some people are being forced to isolate despite never having come into contact with a positive case.
The Telegraph has discovered hundreds of people on social media complaining of being pinged despite never leaving the house!
Government sources admit the app may be "too sensitive".
One in five workers in hospitality is off. NHS hospitals are reporting staff absences of up to 25% and Rolls Royce might have to stop production because of staff self isolating.
Who would have thought that an NHS IT product might be rubbish eh?

Shambles.

John’s just been pinged and has to isolate for 10 days. Someone in the office has had a positive test although the stupid man went into work feeling unwell on Wednesday and yesterday and it was only yesterday lunchtime that he decided that perhaps he should go home and sort out being tested :roll:

Joe went back on Monday after being told to isolate for 5 days, people he works with were all given different time scales. His boss was told just to isolate for a day, some 3 days and others the full 10.

One of our local secondary schools closed early for the Summer on Monday. All year groups were isolating so there wasn’t anything else they could do.

I’ve deleted the damn thing, I’d only used it twice anyway to check in at the hairdressers. When I went two weeks ago they told me not to bother, they have my number if they heard anything so would contact me. This was all after the salon owner had been told to isolate after her next door neighbour who she hadn’t seen around for weeks had tested positive.

Oh, that's rotten Jo, what a nuisance :( Can't say I blame you for deleting the App, it seems to be way oversensitive :?
