We were at a wedding where 10% of the guests caught covid. A couple of people still had their test and trace apps in use and commented that they didn’t get a single ping. Simple reason is that so few people use it, that it will miss the vast majority of cases as it relies on those who do catch covid also having their app switched on.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

It feels as if it will be pretty ineffective now since there has been a massive drop off in testing. I have it installed - think its time is up now though.0
