Object history
Test and Trace was the UK Government scheme set up with the NHS to stop the spread of COVID-19 by encouraging both lateral flow and PCR tests as well as tracking people's visits to different organisations such as shops or restaurants. People would be contacted via an app or text if they had been in contact with anyone who later tested positive for COVID-19.

KEEP HACKNEY SAFE NHS Test and Trace Hackney
Thank you for getting a test and helping to keep your community safe and helping to keep your community safe.
After you have been tested, you must:
1. Self-isolate for 10 days from onset of symptoms unless you receive official contact from NHS Test and Trace saying your coronavirus test was negative. If you test was negative you no longer need to self isolate, as long as you are well.
2. Make sure members of your household self-isolate for 14 days from when you first started showing symptoms until there is a negative test results from the symptomatic family members. If anyone has symptoms of coronavirus - even mild ones - they must book a test.
NHS Test and Trace
The Council is now supporting NHS Test and Trace to help contact residents and offer support when someone needs to self isolate. Those who get a positive test results will be asked to visit: contact-tracing.phe.gov.uk and asked to enter the details of people they live with or have been in close contact with. This is vital to help prevent the spread of coronavirus and keep the community safe.
If you're told you've been in contact with a person who has coronavirus you will need to self-isolate (stay at home) for 14 days from the day you were last in contact with the person. People you live with/are in a bubble with do not need to self-isolate if you do not have symptoms. However if anyone in the household shows coronavirus symptoms they must get tested and all household members must self isolate until the test result is known.
How contact tracing works.
