The chain ends with your household, because you aren't mixing with others outside of work are you?
I'm not no. What I mean is if said person is in contact with someone else , they get notified. The app doesn't then notify anyone that's been around those also on a chain reaction, just the ones around the positive test .

If you think the app is acting erroneously, then you can report it

It may be worth me doing that yeah actually. Quite a few of us don't really want to be locked up at home if it's an app issue, cheers.
you end the chain when there’s not anybody else who’s been in contact with potential carriers of the virus, surely?
If you did that then potentially hundreds could be notified! Person enters positive test , anyone that was around them for the 15 minutes minimum gets notified and then they isolate also.
That's the way I understand it being anyway.
That's supposition, and why go on about patient x and what do you mean by patient x? Afaik, the covid app doesn't identify to app users, personal information about those who have tested positive, have symptoms or anything like that.
Haha not sure where you are getting that from man! Didn't say anything like that.
People only get notified (if it works properly) if they have been around someone who has entered that positive test. So patient X is the person who has entered that positive test into the app for the notifications of isolation to go out.
On this instance there seemingly isn't a patient X , noone in the office has tested positive and pretty much everyone with the app is now off for a week. Only those without the app are going in tomorrow.
Which makes me wonder if knowing this we will be sent back in or made to honour the alert knowing it's a false flag.
I work in the NHS myself for context here.
makes no odds if you have had the jab you can still pass on the virus and catch the virus
I can't use the app it would be going off all day long it's banned on all our PCT grounds but it's handy if you're in Tescos and someone is positive near you.
What I meant man is that everyone in the office has had the vaccination and now had a notification to stay off. So logically the app is reading something somewhere as a covid encounter when really it's vaccination confirmation?
It's a theory, god knows what the issue actually is. We just know noone has tested positive and 20 odd staff haven't all encountered 20 other people with covid on the same day for us all to have a warning. We thought it was coincidence when a few got it then one by one everyone did. Only connection is the vaccine, seeing as though last positive test in the office only triggered those directly around that staff member.
