    All other avenues need to be explored first.  And only leave the house under exceptional circumstances.  Test and trace would only discuss the option with a case/contact after exploring all other options with them and the the advice above is not routinely given.  Using volunteers to get food is by far the best option if friends/family/neighbours not an option.
