If you want really silly and selfish at the school my sister works at parents think it’s perfectly ok to send their kids to school one they have been swabbed and are waiting for the results. If the school knows it refuses to let them in but many just keep quiet
Chrismac - same thing happening at school where I teach (and at many of my local coleagues') - I have been officially 'exposed' four times so far - my longest issolation has been 4 working days!
The app is non-binding. There's no identifying information, unless you agree to send information which I think it may ask once it says to isolate. i.e. it would then link up with Track & Trace.
And yes, it could be through your walls from neighbours. I turn Bluetooth off at home and I'm glad of that because my neighbour did test positive with symptoms.
I've also got the Zoe app and through that I've had a test for research purposes, though it came back as "no idea", as test failed. Had another research test via letter from King's College / Ipsos Mori, and that said I'm negative. On one day at least.
I tested positive, symptoms on 17th, test on the 18th, results on the 20th.
I have a text saying my isolation (and my wife and kids too) would end at the end of 27th. Fine. Quiet Christmas Day.
But today (28th, after that isolation ended, not that we went anywhere...) I get an app notification saying “congratulations! You can go out tomorrow” (I paraphrase!)
The app says I’m still supposed to be in isolation.
Worse - I’m in west Oxfordshire, which is in tier 4.
Except the app specifically lists my accurate postcode and confidently says “Cotswolds is in Tier 3”.
My wife’s app was the same postcode says (correctly) that we’re tier 4
leave then at the school gates if necessary ‘because I can’t deal witht he little shits at home for another two weeks’.
Maybe better for the kids. At home with violent parents or at school potentially spreading covid...? who’s to say.
