From Monday, app will only instruct close contacts to isolate if it is within two days of positive test, rather than five days
Ministers are to radically alter the NHS Covid-19 app to slash the number of days after a positive test the app will instruct contacts to isolate, in the latest move to try to combat the numbers of people in quarantine.
From Monday, the app will only instruct close contacts to isolate if it is within two days of a positive test, rather than five days, which the government said was in line with the latest public health advice.
